Leaf, (2006)

The skeletal vessel form was created to cast delicate reflections on the water. It is based on the leaf of the New Zealand native Lacebark, Houhere, a tree prized by Maori for the healing properties of its leaves, flowers and bark. King’s work emphasizes the need to heal the relationship between humankind and the natural environment.

The works are a limited edition of four.
