Thors comment:
"The first time I fired this pot, the glaze ran so that one of the feet burned onto the plate and broke off. However, I liked the glaze so much that I decided to save it. I therefore fired back the parts of the foot, see photos, using glaze in three different firings. With each firing, the glaze has become more and more beautiful. The brutal repair has given this unique pot a unique ID that testifies to its struggle to become."

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"
