\"\"<\/a>When I saw this delicately shaped aspen forest on such a pale and yet luminescent bowl, I just kind of sighed. Such a balance of light colors and strong forms takes a very intentional and intuitively passionate hand.<\/p>\n

I saw this on the Colossal newsletter, which is\u00a0<\/a>a little collection of interesting art and artists dropped into my mailbox weekly. At first,\u00a0I thought this was a shallow shell shape but a closer look shows it to be a bowl and not all that shallow, with the aspen trees growing up from the inside of it.\u00a0Ceramic artist Heesoo Lee<\/a> actually creates this complex and delicate look by creating separate leaves and placing them carefully by hand, building a very dimensional and shimmering look for these trees which, in real life, shimmer with the constant flutter of their leaves in even the slightest breeze. It made me a little homesick for Colorado actually. The aspens will be a brilliant gold turning to russet red about now.<\/p>\n

Well, i can’t get out to the Rockies right now but we can all enjoy these Rocky Mountain forest-inspired creations by visiting the Montana-based artist’s work online both on Instagram<\/a>\u00a0and Etsy<\/a>. Here is the link to the Colossal article<\/a> on her as well.<\/p>\n

And don’t forget to work out time to come see the Into the Forest installation in Pittsburgh in November<\/a>. Here is the link again<\/a> so you can work on those plans to join fellow polymer artists that weekend.<\/p>\n
