A half slip-cast and half lathe turned vase, decorated with a traditional Chinese porcelain glaze and gravel from the Cairngorms. The two parts are stitched together with a waxed cord (even though it is not on the photos).

I joined a familiar path going from the Linn of Dee to Bob Scott’s. Rain was pouring down, also a familiar feeling, but the Corrour bothy seemed so far away. On I went through bogs, rivers and some really nice gravel paths.

Since this wood was super green (freshly cut) and I turned it a bit thinner than the other pieces, it has cracked and deformed way more. I decided to embrace it and so this project began. Instead of throwing it out, I celebrated all the cracks and imperfections. The material chose the outcome in a way. By stitching the pieces, I aimed to embrace the connection of the materials and the cracks that formed.
