The late woodturner Bill Luce was focused on striving for that “perfect” form in his work. While working in collaboration with a piece of his work I did not want to alter the shape but add a little piece of myself to the work.
The flowing curve of the wood grain created the path for my carved gingko leaf pattern. Using a dark inky blue mixture of milk paint, reminiscent of the night sky, added to the smooth texture of the piece with the glazed gold leaf creating a pleasing contrast.
The color and ginkgo leaves complement the simple, elegant form of the vessel, echoing the refined aesthetics of traditional Japanese craftsmanship that influenced Bill.
NOTE: Actual color is a very deep blue, although it looks black on some screens.
