The jar is carved from Cottonwood Root and the cat head is carved from Tulip Poplar. The head acts as a lid to the tiny jar.

The jar is made to hold your hopes and dreams and the cat acts as a protector to keep them safe. 5" tall

Mark lives and creates in Silver City, New Mexico. He carves and makes creatures that come from the scattered myths, ancient stories, and dark corners of our collective minds.

Mark forages for wood on dog walks and hikes into the outdoors where I lives and where he travels. The wood that becomes a creature is Mark's earnest attempt to glorify all that experience of the parent plant, while exalting the spirit that dwells within each piece.
