Golden Thicket was born from a garden thick with late-season warmth
It does not preserve a carefully arranged bouquet, but the tangled abundance of flowers, grain, leaves, and branches growing together
Miniature roses move through shades of orange, crimson, deep peach, and muted yellow
Oat stems cross between the blooms, while green rose leaves and slender branches remain visible beneath the golden-orange surface
This piece holds the memory of a wild garden at the end of summer — dense, sun-warmed, and beginning to turn
Each candle is composed slowly, allowing every rose, oat stem, leaf, and branch to follow its own direction
No two are ever alike. No arrangement is repeated
Golden Thicket is not simply made to be burned
It is meant to remain. To hold the warmth. To preserve the beautiful disorder of a garden turning golden
