The Origin
Two white quartz cockatoos — one with wings fully spread, the other at rest — perch atop an amethyst vase formation. The vase shape is natural, not carved: an amethyst geode that eroded over millions of years into a form that tapers at the waist and widens at the top.
The cockatoos' translucent white quartz bodies take on the pink-to-violet spectrum of the amethyst beneath them, creating a piece that shifts color depending on the angle of observation.
"The stone made a vase. The birds are the flowers."
