Yarrow Stand
Fall 2023
Mild Steel and ash
The design of this plant stand is inspired by the beautiful form of the common yarrow, Achillea millefolium. It has been used cross-culturally for medicinal and spiritual purposes from love spells to warding evil from one’s home. The pattern that creates the structure for this plant stand draws on repetition and symmetry to create a powerful spell of protection and healing. This plant stand will make a wonderful companion for anyone who enjoys bringing a bit more green into their home and looks for the magic in the mundane. A small steel caterpillar beckons to you, but if worms are not your style, there is a leafier version.
