Thors comment:
"I wanted to create a pot that was like a soft stone. With streaks like slate. I think I came close to my original idea.This pot is a clear oval, although the pictures fail to show it as the feet are extremely low. Personally, I imagine a forest plantation in this low oval, but a feminine deciduous tree with a graceful branch structure would also fit well.
*A fun fact to know is that I tried out my new stamp, which I got in Japan, on this pot, but decided to stick with to my old chop for now. See photos."

THOR ABOUT THE EDITION - "Jul"
"This year has been one of the most turbulent in my life with a lot of joy but that ended with sorrow. I was therefore working with the theme "Black flowers" in the back of my head the whole time. But when it was time to glaze, I realized that the dark theme was draining my energy and thus creativity. I even started to doubt myself and with that came difficulty after difficulty. I therefore decided to change the name to "Jul", as Jul/winter solstice, is here and we are heading towards brighter times. Outside the window, the magpies are now starting to build their nests and the days are getting longer and brighter. Let my tree sculpture symbolize the growth that are awaiting us. God Jul to you all."

I would like to dedicate this edition to my brother Andrew Prett "Stonemonkey" Pearson and my neighbour and dear friend Bil Lena Andersson"
