The Demeter

Part of the Icarus Series, Demeter is turned from 13-inch curly cherry, chosen for its depth and movement. The figure in the wood shifts as light passes through it, revealing a subtle, rippling pattern that gives the surface a sense of life and continuity.

Named after Demeter, the Greek goddess of harvest and growth, the piece draws from cycles of care, loss, and return. There is a quiet patience in the form, something steady and enduring, where the material feels both cultivated and natural at once.

When illuminated, the cherry emits a warm, even glow, with the curl in the grain catching and softening the light. Demeter holds a calm presence, rooted in the idea that what is nurtured over time carries its own kind of beauty.
