This collection of silverware is inspired by the contrasts between the Forth Bridges in Scotland.
Drawing inspiration from the irregular shapes and forms found within the three bridges’ architecture and the materials used to create such large-scale structures. I wanted to transfer these into precious metal to emphasise their important role as key connectors of land and people.
I explored the technique of scoring and folding to develop interesting forms from flat sheets of silver, creating functional mini structures as tableware, as well as using etching in various layers to create rough concrete-like textures.
