18th century turned sycamore dairy bowl in Erddig Country House pantry. Sycamore is odourless and tasteless so it didn't affect the taste of the milk. This little rustic bowl was tucked high on a shelf but had the most incredible surface of wear and tear - knowing how it had been used and well loved. This simple satisfying form provides into the lives of those who crafted them. Mixed media on gessoed board in antique frame. 35 x 44 cm (55 x 68 cm framed) Find this work at Ffin Y Parc Gallery, Llanrwst, Wales until August 30th 2014.
