ceramic stoneware

In the middle of her second music degree, Sara decided to take a ceramics class for something fun and different, and never stopped playing with clay. Now she makes small-batch and one-of-a-kind functional pottery, as well as other whimsical pieces, often finding inspiration from endemic forest birds and other native fauna.

Hyles perkinsi is endemic to O'ahu, notably in the nearby area of Puʻu ʻŌhiʻa (Tantalaus).

Moths used to terrify me; they are a mix of mystery and chaos and dread and magic. So obviously, I can't stop thinking about them.

I wanted the eyes to draw us in to all these ideas; the body and wings exist mostly to provide context. I think I'd love to have this friend looking down at me as I go about my menial human activities, reminding me that there is so much more out there for us to find on this big beautiful planet.
