Title: Encrusted Spoon
Medium: Sterling silver
Dimensions: 11.5cm, 4.4cm, 1.3cm
Sculpted by hand in wax and cast as a unique piece in sterling silver, this spoon celebrates marks of the hands-on making process. The result is a piece contrasting an apparent softness and fluidity, reminiscent of clay, with the permanence and resilience of metal.
Inspired by organic forms found in nature, the spoon brings the outside in, echoing William Morris’s belief that house and garden should exist in harmony. Delicate details flow across the reverse of the handle, referencing the intricate shapes and gentle energy of lichen and fungi.
