Ginkgo Sconce

DESCRIPTION

This series takes inspiration from the Ginkgo Biloba tree, one of the oldest tree species in the world. In Japanese culture, the Ginkgo tree holds symbolism of eternity and hope, being the sole survivor of the Hiroshima bombing.
In Chinese culture, the Ginkgo is revered as a sacred tree that embodies duality, representing the masculine and feminine, the heavens and earth, the visible and invisible, the sun and moon, and the yin and yang.
Each piece in this collection is meticulously handcrafted from cast brass by skilled artisans in Madrid, the same artisans-sculptors renowned for their work with Marc Quinn and Anish Kapoor.

Each piece is meticulously crafted using organic materials, seamlessly blending time-honored traditions with contemporary techniques. Our discerning clientele and collectors understand, endorse, and appreciate the deliberate imperfections inherent in our creations. Veronica Mar does not accept returns, claims, or bear responsibility for these intentional flaws, as they constitute an essential part of my artistic vision and ethos. These intentional imperfections include, but are not confined to:

  • The organic occurrence of wood cracking, a natural response to seasonal climates and environmental conditions over time.
  • The inherent irregularities and natural formations found in items sculpted from stone or other mineral materials.
  • In cast brass, certain marks may appear due to the porosity that occurs during the metal casting process.
  • Deliberate imperfections, including purposefully created marks in handcrafted metalwork pieces, especially in corten steel, which tends to oxidize and exhibit non-uniform characteristics.
