Soul Searching
Soul Searching
This Garry Oak bowl is inspired by our tendency to carry 2 parts of ourselves on our exterior but have a deep yearning for something more inside Many of us were taught to have pure intentions and carry ourselves with “purity” and toughness on the exterior while the dark part of being a human and what we have to reconcile within ourselves is always in the background. All the while what we are really searching for is inner peace.
The stripes are representative of each of these differences. Also notice that the stripes are not “pristine”; they’ve been slightly sanded to look “rough around the edges”. This is to represent that no matter how much we try to put on our best effort to maintain our intentions or how much we try to keep our darkness from creeping in, we are a constant work in progress; incomplete but constantly evolving and growing.
