This series are inspired from plants, with particular focus on forms of seeds and fruits. Hammering is a very simple and somewhat meditative repetition of the act of beating the metal sheet to create undulation, convex and concave. I intends to produce works awakening people’s primitive memories by integrating my every hammer beat with the form of seed or fruit generating and sustaining life during the long production process.
Imaginary Fruits
Hand raised, and Chased
In most of these works, made from a sheet of metal with taking time for intensive chasing process for 2 to 5weeks.
Copper, Silver, Brass, Tin, Shibuich, I am exploring with the diverse of the metal and patination to depict the vividly lives.
