Bones Of Waste

 

Title: ‘Bones of Waste’

So much work in this one with 58 forks but definitely worth the trouble, even including all the times I stabbed myself.

Love the fizz 🤪 reclaiming some scrap silver.  #recycledsilver #jewellerymaker @bowralartgallery #jewelleryclasses @galleryontrackgoulburn Can’t seem to help myself, making chain is fun and therapeutic 🤪  #chainmail #frenchtwistchain #chainmaking #homemadelinks #jewellerytechniques #jewelleryclassesbowral #jewelleryclassesgoulburn #creativemetal #sterlingsilverchain Blast from the past … oil painting I did in 2005 90cm by 120cm. Saw this again recently while packing up my parents house 😊 still love this work. Set some of my students some sawing practice to do in the term break, so thought I should do it as well, the last time I did this was early 90’s 😬. #jewellerypractice #jewellerssaw #australianpennyjewellery New old tools for the classes and the studio, has been a bit of work getting these rusty old things up to the task but well worth the time, looking forward to trying them out 🙂 #silversmith #silversmithingandjewellery #raisinghammer #sculpture #jewellerytool #shinnytools What to do with an old rusty pick, make a stake for anticlastic raising 😜 it took a bit of work but well worth it, this has gone straight into the tool boxes for classes. Bought the pick from @wombatinthirroul ... Fantastic place, visit every chance I get 😃 . . .  #anticlastic #anticlasticraising #handmadetools #recycledtools #silversmithing #silverworkshop #stakeforanticlasticraising #raisinganvil #sculpturetool #homemadetool #homemadeanvil 'Saplings' I'm very happy to say that this work received the People's Choice award at the 2019 Bowral Sculpture Prize which is a national prize 😀  #bowralartgallery #sculptureclasses #sculpturetechniques #sculptureprize #kinetic #kineticartwork #peopleschoice #bowralsculptureprize Here is a full view 😃 My latest work, 'Bones of Waste' 80cm in length when straight, 58 forks come together to make this piece inspired by an old fish spine i found somewhere, copper tube spacers hide a stainless steel spinal cord so the work can flex, all the materials in this piece are recycled. #sculpture #kineticsculpture #metalsculpture #recycledmetalsculpture #recycled #recycledcopper #recycledcuttlery #recycledforks #recycledstainlesssteelcable #artwork #cuttlerysculpture #jewelleryclasses #jewellerytechniques #jewellerytechnique
