Bloom after Burning

“Bloom after Burning” is a collection of wooden vases and shapes, designed to hold buds, blooms, berries and blossoms. Drawing on the Japanese practice of ikebana flower arrangements, each wood piece is ebonized using traditional shou sugi ban technique to burn and wash the wood. This series was developed as a reflection on the Australian Bushfires in 2019-20 and the rejuvenation of native forest as it blooms after burning. Learn more
