Narrowing gently toward the base, the vessel rises into an open mouth with a graceful flare, giving the work a balanced sense of proportion. Across the surface, alternating bands of dark and light encircle the form in steady rhythm, their measured variation lending visual depth. The structure is built through meticulously executed stitches of spruce root, each one contributing to the clarity of the whole. In this work, Rorick demonstrates her technical command and her ability to bring refinement and strength to a form rooted in tradition.Provenance
Collection of John and Joyce Price, Seattle
