My current collection explores the notions of ‘tension’ and ‘loss of tension’ within industrial and architectural structures that surround us in our everyday lives. I am influenced by architectural stadium structures, as much as by the complexities of internal spaces within the human body.
I aim to challenge the concept of function in contemporary silver, questioning where the boundaries might lay between contemporary silverware and sculpture.
Each of my pieces is a study into the formation of ‘tension’ with a strong emphasis on raising techniques that are being used in contemporary fine metalwork. This includes the traditional technique of anticlastic raising, forcing the metal in opposite directions. Other techniques include exposing the structure of the vessel, allowing the solder joints to be seen, and to emphasise the constructed forms by using industrial source material. Each object incorporates a range of non-precious and precious metals. I use fibreglass and a range of colour finishes contrasting and complimenting the precious quality of silver.
