Growing Reflections

Sway
Precious white metal, precious yellow metal and stainless steel. 25 x 10 x 10 cm each
A drawing in metal™ focusing on re-engaging and challenging materials, soldering 18ct to stainless steel and using fine silver for bowls. Creating a fine movement, the piece never static, evolving every time they are moved.

Gathered Pebbles
Silver. 15 x 29 x 29 cm
Gathered Pebbles™ forms a significant starting point for the work for Silver Connections™. The act of gathering the perfect pebble enriched by translating them into silver.

Gathered Lava
Silver, precious white metal and lava. Bowl 10 x17 x17 cm
The preciousness of found objects enhanced by hammering precious white metal directly into the crevices of the lava.

Furrows
Silver and wenge. 26 x 32 x14 cm
Including other materials with silver has always been of great importance in my work. The furrows allow grooves for the salt and pepper to be held in uniform rows, the eight spoons lift out to allow the user to scatter the salt or pepper.

Beachcomber
Silver and sandstone. 8 x 37 x 22 cm
Readdressing functionality in the work, emphasising the interaction not only of the silver with another material, sandstone in this instance, the placement of each cup being important and the ritual evoked by drinking from the silver cup.
::
Perch
Silver and ebony. 15 x 35 x 35 cm
Ritualistic, constantly evolving, requiring participation. There is a ceremonial ritual evoked by drinking from the silver cup and the act of returning them to the ebony. The cups cannot stand on the table they require the ebony piece to rest.

The Field
Silver and wenge. 18 x 66 x 16 cm
The scale of this piece and the density of the wenge is a powerful landscape for the centre of the table and evokes a strong platform for these candleholders to grow from. The curved silver forms can be arranged as desired.
