clay & wood
Clay is a malleable substance; that can stand on its own as a finished product, used to formulate ideas, or act as a prototype for casting images in bronze.
A block of wood is a hard solid; by following it’s grain one can cut-away and sand the block to bring out its warmth and sensuality.
The pairing of Clay and Wood shows how two different materials can compliment one another.
