SPIRAL BEAKER

2016

By combining various old and newtechniques. I’ve combined hand-raising, one of the oldest forms of metal work, so it’s very classical, and chasing, which typically looks old, with polishing, as in the past you couldn’t make metal shiny in the same way that you can now. I’ve also tried to communicate a message with the design.

The outside is oxidised to represent age, and the dark oxidisation fades up the vessel as if getting younger and younger, and then you tip it and the inside is gold, to represent youth.
