Butterfly Ginkgo Pastry Dish/Dome

The Butterfly Ginkgo Collection celebrates the representation of flora as fauna. MichaelÕs fascination with a particular type of ginkgo tree, the Ginkgo Biloba, or ÒButterfly GinkgoÓ, which grows with a double leaf reminiscent of a butterflyÕs 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 MichaelÕs work.

ÒThe 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.Ó ~ M.
