This striking woodland-inspired ceramic art piece captures the textures and colours of a forest in Autumn. The sculpture, mounted on a smooth wooden base, resembles a tree trunk or organic form, rich with natural details. Its glossy, multi-toned glaze flows in shades of deep blue, earthy brown, and green, evoking the play of light across a woodland floor after rain.
Embedded and sculpted into the surface are vibrant elements of forest life — detailed leaves in hues of orange, red, and green; mushrooms with textured caps and stems; and bark-like ridges of a silver birch that give a tactile, layered quality. The combination of natural motifs and fluid glaze work gives the piece a sense of both motion and stillness, as though it captures a fleeting moment in the forest.
My overall composition conveys harmony between clay, glaze, and wood — blending my artistry and nature to create a piece that feels alive, grounded, and deeply connected to the woodland environment.
The piece measures 13” x 11”
