The intention Mark can pour into an object, typically so mundane, is inspiring.
Hand raised Acorn body.
Sunrays chased into the lid capped by the mighty lion.
Cast Feet of the Sphinx.
A piece representing the regeneration cycle that is so important to this earth, the journey of sustenance. All the organisms and forces traditionally encountered throughout the process and how humans can fit in physically and spiritually. Hand formed, made to last, and there on your countertop every morning as a reminder to be intentional in our lives.
