The vase is turned from oak that has been buried underground. The damp soil has initiated a natural darkening of the wood. This gives it the character of an early phase in the process that, over centuries, can lead to bog oak.
Along the edge, large parts of the sapwood have turned black. The black edge contrasts with the oak's warm, golden heartwood. The cracks on the vase remain untouched.
The vase is turned with respect for the wood's structure and movement, and stands as a sculptural object in itself.
