Form and Function by Carlos Pastor

Medal / Conceptual

Carlos Pastor. Medal: Form and Function, 2011. Copper, silver, steel, wood (anonymous bench peg).. 12,3 x 5 x 2,4 cm. This medal represents the work done by the jeweler hands, the ingenuity required by this profession and especially, a reflection about the relationship between the technique as collective knowledge versus creation as individual experience. A used bench peg is a universal format instrument and at the same time, a totally customized support by the daily work. It amazes me still that on a so simple and common object can make other objects always unique.
. The bench peg was rescued from a jeweler’s bench that my girlfriend bought secondhand. I never met the previous owner.
