Artist statement
“What happens when you take a disk form, and as a maker, explore the idea of dimensions? For example, thickness and diameter. When does it cease to be a disk and end up being more bead like? This is one of the questions I found myself pondering recently whilst looking at one of my early prototypes. A combination pendant I was making many years ago that never left the workshop bench for reasons now unbeknownst to me. I wanted to explore that idea further, so the work you see here is the result of the exploration. Making a conscious decision to limit the overall colour palette for the suite of work somewhat dictated the type of material I found myself using. Like my combination pendants I didn’t want to limit myself to just one material so chose to use primarily wood (ebony) and then fill in the gaps with stone (alabaster, Argilite, basalt and Carrara marble. I also knew that within the initial overall idea of dimension (thick to thin, disk to bead) brought up a myriad of possibilities.” Tom Mason, New Works, 2022
