Thors comment:
"I was on a ceramics workshop in raku in back in 2007 and was so inspired by some pine trees that stood by the lake below the potteryt yard that I made three inspired sculptures of trees there and then. Only this one survived. I have had it on my desk for the past few years and have always wanted to make several more. I am therefore offering this tree sculpture, which is very dear to me, to see if there is an interest and thus the opportunity to explore this form of sculpture in the future."
* I have chosen to add a small ceramic miniature accent in the form of a man in contemplation.

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"
