Ternion
I collect, observe, absorb, process, make.
A current obsession in my practice is with the nature of material and its potential for transmutation. It has led me to seek a variety of substrates to utilise in the enamelling process. By experimenting and pursuing possibilities, I have, in this instance, made use of very thin fine silver sheet, soldering, chasing and embossing tools and vitreous enamel.
This process has led me down an unintended and unexpected path: the work has its’ own voice and has found expression.
Ternion, or 3 cylindrical vessels, have been the outcome, capturing both volume and weightlessness, light and colour.
