From the Artist, Norm Sartorius:
"When our son, Andrew, taught English in Japan for 4 years he worked with the "Broken English Club", a group of local adults who wanted to improve their spoken English - Mr. Yamamoto was a member of that group - knowing Andrew's father was a woodcarver, Mr. Yamamoto gave Andrew a piece from an antique Japanese table made of Elm - This spoon was made from that wood."
Artist Bio:
A creator of wooden spoons for 30 years, Norm Sartorius has explored the common wooden spoon and other utilitarian objects as a context for sculpture. Using rare and unusual woods of exceptional beauty, he shapes each piece to stand as a unique artistic statement of color, form, and texture. Often referred to as "Ceremonial Objects", Sartorius' spoons vary in size and shape, each being solely created by the artist.
