I've listened to lots of stories and and have always been fascinated by what makes some people happy, or successful or at peace with themselves while others seem to struggle. One of the patterns I seem that seems to improve outcomes is a healthy root system of people that care for them.

This figurative sculpture is slab built using stoneware clay. Slips and underglazes are added initially then the bottom root system design isgraffitoed to the surface The top was painted with underglazes and finally oxides were added to add depth into the textures.. The piece is low fired.
