{"product_id":"nesting-bowls","title":"Nesting Bowls","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pair of carved bowls, one maple, one walnut, made to nest. This is the first summer in years Martin has lived with a backyard, and he and his wife set out at once to fill it with life, sunflowers at the perimeter, wildflowers in the low spaces, squash, herbs, and so many tomatoes. Watching the zucchini, he became fixated on how the plant moves between its parts, stem becoming sepal becoming receptacle becoming flower, its growth continuous and nearly imperceptible, and its slide into decay just as hard to catch. That too, he writes, will be beautiful.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBased in Philadelphia, woodworker and artist Ashley Joseph Martin crafts contemporary home goods through a combination of modern woodworking and traditional hand carving, creating subtle textures that carry a distinct handmade quality in each piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Abundance \u0026amp; Decay Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFor this collection, we invited our artists to create objects exploring the moment when the exuberant growth of summer begins its slide into the decay of autumn, the friction between the heavy, nectar-filled bloom and the curling, brown edge of the leaf, and the transformative energy found in seasons of transition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ashley Joseph Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48682553016532,"sku":"AJM-0012","price":975.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/5848\/5662\/files\/DSC07366_9cf17e30-f492-4fa6-aad9-4e5cfc5a8f2c.jpg?v=1790723680","url":"https:\/\/lescollection.com\/products\/nesting-bowls","provider":"LES Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
