Molten
These hollow wrought objects reflect the anxiety of service, legacy and privilege. Forms embody a sense of baroque decadence as they erupt, evolve and succumb to their own excess. Bittersweet, this work portends silver's demise but also its rebirth, as the material has been transformed throughout history to re-image new societies.
