More about Sorgente Blossom Vessels
Each layer of the blossom is uniquely sculpted for undulating flow and interplay, sanded, finished, arranged and assembled into a solid multi-layer blossom.
*****
The large Hollow Form was a year in the making. From a fallen tree, I rescued a log section and sculpted the outer shape striving to reveal and maximize the inherent beautiful grain patterns and colorful tonal hues. I then hollowed out the interior to a 1” thickness for 12 months of drying; the wood naturally warps out of round as it dries. Once dry, I final turned both the inside and outside to a round, stable, thin thickness, carefully & thoroughly sanded, finished.
*****
Exquisite glass spheres made by world class artists accent the blossoms.
Some blossom sculptures have beautiful natural stone spheres.
