Artwork Description

Bob Stocksdale believed a vessel must be both functional and beautiful. He worked with the natural beauty of the wood by letting each piece's particular qualities dictate the shape of the artwork. Here, Stocksdale highlighted the dramatic veins that are characteristic of Brazilian rosewood by mimicking their shape in the bowl’s swooping rim.
