Andrew Jackson Pollack Designs
Andy Pollack has found flameworking to be an excellent medium for expressing the natural world. Man and nature coexisting is a recurring theme in his work, and he uses those themes in the functional Judaica that he creates, which often include birds, serpentine shapes, and leaved branches.
