Candlestick

Yay, this is great. One of my Trees of Life has been selected to be part of an exhibition of candlesticks at the Handwerkmuseum in Deggendorf.
The exhibition is in December, so I will be posting about it.

I've been making these Trees for a few months, inspired, of course, on the Trees of Life that are made in Puebla and in Metepec, Mexico. Mine are a hybrid as I don't make them in terracota, but in porcelain, and I've removed any catholic, biblical imagery and fill them with the worries and objects that surround our lives.


This is the tree going all the way to Deggendorf.

And below some samples of the magnificent Trees of Life made in Mexico.
