These new pieces are inspired by growth, by natural forms, textures and colours and by ideas about transformation and renewal. Each piece is made from a single steel food can (tin can). Each vessel is worked with hand tools and heat to form the shape and texture. The perforations are cut free hand with a flame. The interiors are hand coloured with watercolours and pencil, sealed with lacquer and wax. The exteriors are filed, sanded and lacquered and waxed.
