Butterfly Ginkgo Bowl New for fall 2014 Description: 13.25″W x 15″L x 3″H; Stainless Steel, Oxidized, Natural Bronze Price: $450.00 175756 The Butterfly Ginkgo Collection celebrates the representation of flora as fauna. Michael’s fascination with a particular type of ginkgo tree…Ginkgo Biloba, or “Butterfly Ginkgo”, which grows with a double leaf reminiscent of a butterfly’s wings…gave rise to a fantasia image of the plant. Executed at the highest level of handcraftmanship, each piece is rendered in solid bronze with acid etched cocoon-shaped vessels. The pieces in the collection are a tour de force of Indian craft and capture the poetic spirit that is so deeply indicative of Michael’s work. “The first time I saw this tree, it literally looked like it had been completely overtaken by butterflies’ as if they would all take flight the moment I walked too close or made a noise. The idea that the leaves could evoke the beauty of butterflies was magical to me, like trees that can metamorphose from flora to fauna in the blink of an eye.”
