R24,750

Sun Held in Clay captures the warmth of earth illuminated by late afternoon light. Deep olive botanicals unfold across rich clay, ochre and golden tones, creating a composition that feels grounded, abundant and quietly expressive. The sweeping arrangement carries the eye across the canvas while balancing bold organic forms with moments of openness and light.

Built by hand using layers of mixed media, each sculptural botanical element creates shifting shadows and subtle dimension as natural light moves across the surface. The tactile quality invites closer observation, revealing intricate details that continue to emerge over time.

Part of the Sculptural Collection, Sun Held in Clay celebrates the beauty of natural forms through texture, movement and light, offering a contemporary statement piece that brings warmth, depth and a strong connection to nature into an interior.
