"\n\n\n\n\nThe Butterfly Ginkgo Collection celebrates the representation of flora as fauna. Michael's fascination with a particular type of ginkgo tree, the Ginkgo Biloba, or \"Butterfly Ginkgo\", which grows with a double leaf reminiscent of a butterfly's wings, gave rise to a fantasia image of the plant. Executed at the highest level of handcraftsmanship, each piece is rendered in solid brass with hand-etched cocoon-shaped vessels. The pieces in the collection are a tour de force of the handcrafted process, capturing the poetic spirit that is so deeply indicative of Michael's work.\n\"The first time I saw this tree, it literally looked like it had been completely overtaken by butterflies... as if they would all take flight the moment I walked too close or made a noise. The idea that the leaves could evoke the beauty of butterflies was magical to me, like trees that can metamorphose from flora to fauna in the blink of an eye.\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS\n\n\n8\"L x 7\"W x 7.75\"H\n5\" Dia.\n67 Oz.\n\n\n\n\nMATERIALS\n\n\nHand Textured Stainless Steel\nNatural &amp; Oxidized Brass\n\n\n\n\n"
