About Some Fruits III
The object was refined using the traditional Japanese wood-firing technique Shou-Sagi-Ban, which JJ Pela has made his own. Reminiscent of a pear, the object features a pewter stem and seeds inside as well as the natural structures of the alder wood, the organic contours of which have been strikingly emphasised by JJ Pela’s process. The final effect of shape, form and structure is achieved by grinding and polishing with felt discs. Hardening and protection against burnishing is achieved with preparations specially patented by JJ Pela.
