Edition of 5

Also available as a set of 5.

In February 2025 I was privileged to spend a month as silversmith in residence at the Hugo Burge Foundation, located on the Marchmont Estate in Scotland. My aim during this residency was to engage in immersive, hands-on research, focusing on the creation of silver vessel forms using only hammers and stakes. I also sought to explore how the unique spirit of this secluded, wild environment might influence my artistic practice. This period marked a new and innovative chapter for me, allowing a deeper exploration of archetypal vessel forms and traditional silversmithing techniques, while expanding the meditative and essential nature of my process into fresh territory.

The gracious Palladian symmetry and tenderly curated spaces of Marchmont House became integral to this body of work, inspiring a group of five symmetrical vessel forms. The first vessel was crafted during my residency, and each piece in the series is distinct, designed to evoke a sense of completeness and containment.
