Banik, Wooden Sink Carved From Piece of Walnut
-
Description
The artist’s idea to carve a sink in the trunk displaying vivid cellural structure introduces us to the legend of Banik. Banik is a ghost, and according to Old Slavic mythology, it resides in baths. These are spaces such as bathrooms, saunas and the delivery rooms, and due to female life forces (the creation of a new life) it was believed that he can foretell the future.

Message from Seller:
We do not cut down, we do not destroy, but seek out downed tree limbs toppled by fierce wind storms or driftwood from the local creek. But, in that moment of discovery all it takes is a tiny spark in the artist's eye and in his vision the piece becomes what it was always meant to be. P: +38.595.396.1045 E: logniture@gmail.com
