Tiny Curves Hang Above Me? III by I-An Wang

Object / Organic Abstract Conceptual

Torch fired, raising, chasing, repoussé.

Wang I-An chases her forms out of the metal, combining gentle curves and bulges with sharp ridges or ornamental relief areas. She works with direct fire to burn the enamel several times on the surface. The changes in the surface, co-determined by chance, result in interesting and surprising structures that invite various associations and make one think of body parts, skin, organs. Wan I-An emphasizes this effect by post-processing the enamel by applying different layers or by sanding. The metal objects have a very lively character due to their strongly curved shape, the different structures, and the irregular surface colour and quality, and are reminiscent of microorganisms. The high ridges in particular convey liveliness and dynamism.
