Seni Vase, 2021
Hammer-raised and chased Fine silver 999 Height 21 5cm (8 1/2”)
“I have developed an intuitive relationship with silver that allows me to approach my work in a highly spontaneous way. Initiating work without development stages such as drawing and making small-scale models could be seen as risky, but for me it allows a certain freedom to create intuitively and remain true to the material. Intuition and feeling are core to my creative process, allowing me to maintain sensitivity with the material. The thematic influences in my work explore the subtleties within fluidity and sensuality, a very personal expression applied with an allencompassing hand”
