‘II’
The 25 for 25 Collection
The strong clear lines of the river-flow reflect in the polished surface of the box, drawing you in. The natural breaks in the slate are sculptural landscapes in themselves, with curves that echo the flow. The slate base is roughly rectangular, 240mm in length and 65mm wide.
The lines of the drawing, unique to each piece, reflect in the polished surface of the cylindrical box, creating another flow, depending on the angle of reflection.
The second one of the boxes, The 3D top surface depicting the form of the river-flow has two vertical facets, polished to reflect the subtle texture of the surface, and a pair of shiny bubbles.The dark interior gives a glimpse of the stream bed, with four gold nuggets in amongst the river-worn pebbles strewn across the sandy texture. The dimensions are H30mm and 45mm diameter, the lowest in height of the first five boxes.
The slate of ‘II’ has striations of green amongst the lavender grey. The etched drawing appears clearer and paler on this type of slate.
The Next 25 – Investing in the Future
When purchased directly from me, 25% of the proceeds of each box will go into a future fund to support the next 25 years. Most of this fund will support my mission to pass on what I’ve been fortunate enough to learn from all the incredible metalsmiths, mentors and teachers who have generously shared their skills, wisdom and experience with me.
25% of the future fund will be an investment in the future of the planet, going to Project Seagrass who plant seagrass meadows for biodiversity and carbon absorption. Find out more about Project Seagrass.
