IRIS – Red Oak Wood Turned Vessel
(22.5 cm wide, 17.5 cm high)

Iris is Aleksandra's twin sister. I loved Aleksandra's shape so much, the narrow opening, the thin walls, the top touched by flames, that I turned Iris the very next week to make on purpose what had happened by accident the first time. Same red oak, same tree that fell in a forest close to Dresden.

Iris has a small crack by the opening, which I secured with a couple of stitches. Together, the two of them tell the story of a mistake that turned into something I wanted to make again.

IRIS – Ručně soustružená nádoba z červeného dubu
22,5 cm na šířku, 17,5 cm na výšku

Iris je Aleksandřino dvojče. Tvar Aleksandry se mi líbil tak moc, ty okousané tenké stěny, vršek dotčený plameny, že jsem Iris vysoustružil hned následující týden, abych schválně udělal to, co se poprvé stalo náhodou. Stejný červený dub, stejný strom, který spadl v lese poblíž Drážďan.

Iris má u ústí malou prasklinu, kterou jsem zajistil párem stehů. Společně vyprávějí příběh o chybě, která se proměnila v něco, co jsem chtěl udělat znovu.
