Inspired by Rococo decorative arts and a love of natural history, this bowl is part of Kate Rohde's 'Ornament Crimes' series. The flowing form is inspired by an opening lettuce or cabbage, perched on three stylised paws. The process of casting in resin using gravity and rotational casting techniques allows for interesting layering of colours. It is equally suited to serving as a vase or fruit bowl.

Kate Rohde completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) at the Victorian College of the Arts in 2001. Since then she has become known for her intensely colourful jewellery and sculptural object based practice, nowadays working predominately with resin and hand casting techniques.

Recent exhibitions include Luminous Realms, a solo survey of her work since 2006 at Craft, Magic Object; the 2016 Biennial of Australian Art at the Art Gallery of South Australia, 21st Century Heide at Heide Museum of Modern Art, and Obsessed: Compelled to make, at the Australian Design Centre. In 2015 she was a finalist in the Rigg Design Prize at the National Gallery of Victoria.

Other projects include collaborating with Sydney fashion house Romance was Born on their 2010/11 S/S collections Renaissance Dinosaur and 2011 A/W Fruits and Flowers. Her work is held in the collections of several institutions including the National Gallery of Victoria, Art Gallery of South Australia and Bendigo Art Gallery. 

It is a limited edition item and once sold out, cannot be made to order.
