Thors comment:
"Decorating a bonsai pot with skulls attracted a lot of attention when I exhibited the first one at the Bonsa San Show in Saulieu in 2015. Today, I have had several with this design competing at shows and see several potters taking up the theme of skulls, which makes me happy. To me, the skull represents life, as death is the condition of life - a fitting theme for a pot that will house a living tree. I call the design "Skull Corner"."

THOR ABOUT THE EDITION - "Trademark Designs"
"As I will now have two exhibitions in Tokyo in November, this means that I have to talk about my art and in some way define who I am and what I do for the japanese public. Then the question arises, "What am I bringing to the bonsai world?" In the preparations for this, it came naturally that I summed up and crystallized some of the designs that that has been borned along my journey. My Trademark designs. The Skull, Borg, Gotham, Skull corner, Nidhögg, Yggdrasil, Sigill and Kings corner among others. They are all still evolving and are all unique, built from slabs and coils."
