NO3

$155.00

This piece was inspired by ammonite shells and their natural representation of the Fibonacci sequence. The Fibonacci sequence is a mathematical pattern in which each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. (For example: 1+1 = 2,  1+2 = 3,  2+3 = 5, and so on.) 

This sequence creates a spiral that appears frequently in nature. Sometimes referred to as the “golden ratio,” it’s also widely used in engineering, technology, and more.

The spiral image has been studied, observed, documented, and portrayed throughout art history, most notably in Robert Smithson’s 1970 land art piece, Spiral Jetty. 

I could write an entire book on the spiral's significance in art, spirituality, science, and beyond, but for this piece, I used the ammonite as the starting point and expanded that form outward onto the clay. 

On the left, I added a fluid movement that creates space for a tea-light candle. This piece embodies one’s ability to be fluid in life—morphing, evolving, yet remaining connected to their center (just like the spiral).

The center of the piece is open, serving as a landing zone, a sacred space for anything special to you. The back of the piece that contains the ammonite shell is a vase to hold either living or dried flowers. On the right, there’s a small hole for incense. 

Note: The incense hole is positioned to the side, so the ash will not fall directly onto the piece. If you prefer, I recommend placing a tray underneath to catch any falling ash.

The piece is glazed with a shiny, clear glaze that makes it reflect light beautifully, giving it a polished, glossy finish.

This sculpture is particularly special to me within the collection. The combination of the white clay body, the spiral, and the ammonite shape feels so clear and pure. The energy I had while creating this piece was very open and meditative. I sculpted it in silence, and the process truly felt like a form of meditation—a warm, white light.

I hope you love it as much as I do.
