Michael Aram I Butterfly Ginkgo Fruit Bowl Description:
The Butterfly Ginkgo Collection celebrates the representation of flora as fauna.
Michaels fascination with a particular type of ginkgo tree , the Ginkgo Biloba, or "Butterfly Ginkgo", which grows with a double leaf reminiscent of a butterflys wings, gave rise to a fantasia image of the plant.
Executed at the highest level of handcraftsmanship, each piece is rendered in solid brass with hand etched cocoon-shaped vessels.
The pieces in the collection are a tour de force of the handcrafted process, capturing the poetic spirit that is so deeply indicative of Michaels 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.
