I love the process of spinning vessels; taking a flat sheet of metal and forming it into an axially symmetrical shape that has a smooth surface. These forms are then pierced, etched, layered and peeled.
My first series are double skinned pieces use contrasting metal. I pierce a pattern of shape drawn from a study of microscopic cell formation. My second series is a more recent study, whereby I have been manipulating the surface of the metal, to experiment balance within my work. I am amazed when unexpected things happen to something I initially have great control over.
These vessels are decorative non functional pieces that can sit alone or in a group to stimulate thought, conversation and curiosity.
