Bittersweet

I charred a 50" section of a cherry wood branch, cut it into 84 sections, each separated by a pearl and held together with a stainless steel rod. I twisted and turned the re-imagined branch on itself transforming it into a compact and harmonious little piece that precariously supports itself on three points. The once rigid branch, now subtle and compliant, cradles the pearls, inherently precious, hidden within.
