Now that I’ve welded those bits back on a few times I’m beginning to realize it’s a different material and needs different treatment, the use of polystyrene as a direct burn out material is also new to me and again introduces new ways of working. The work I’ve sent over is based on domestic items, it started with “Iron” a pun I couldn’t resist and this has led to “Collander” a sculptural interpretation of a basic kitchen implement.
The “Lovespoon “ is a traditional Welsh gift, normally given to a loved one as a token, when we heard that the Iron Tribe where pouring on St Davids day( the patron saint of Wales) it was decided that we would all make a spoon to be cast in New Mexico.
