 “A thing is a hole in a thing it is not.” Carl Andre. 

This quote from Carl Andre is about contextualizing objects. The space around and object is just as substantial as the object itself. From the perspective, a cover/shell/wrapping/container could be considered the most intimate layer around and object.

Metal manipulation

I have been doing experiments to try to give the metal parts a more spontaneous and softer character. I would like to remove the rigidity and manufactured qualities inherent to metal materials. The figures below show some of the attempts...

I have decided to try to replicate the flow effect in the metal pieces using computer modelling and before I knew it, I was drifted into the following thrilling models!

Inflatable series

Soft metals??? Inflatable metal forms??? These forms remind me some pieces of Kim Buck that were on display in Munich during Schmuck 2015:

Looking a bit more into his work. I found really interesting his delicate conceptual work using metal foil for inflatable pieces. You can have the pleasure to navigate around his website to see his amusing and unconventional work (http://www.kimbuck.dk/index.php?/products/jewelry/)

Inspirational: knobs and handles

Some inspirational pictures from an interesting display of knobs and handles in Portobello Rd, London. I love the simple and sensuous shapes (if you can call a door handle sensuous!)
