Earth Meets Sky Birdbath

The birdbath among ferns, the rusted pedestal seen close against dark garden foliage. Closer view of the basin, its pale glazed surface and undulating rim resting on the rusted flange. The birdbath at a distance in the garden, with evergreens and open sky behind it.

A commission made with metal artist Alisa Roe. The pedestal combines recycled tractor parts with fabricated components, and it carries a wide slab-built basin whose rim rises and falls rather than sitting level. Rust below, pale glaze above: the two halves of the title meet at the join.
