Kensington and Chelsea Art and Design Exhibition 2016

Ending the scholar year I have had the opportunity to participate in the Art and Design Show in June 2016. 

It takes places in Kensington and Chelsea College, located in Wornington Road, near the famous Portobello Road in London. 

For this occasion I have selected two pieces of different nature and Style that have been performed by me in this last term. 

The First one is a Caddy Spoon, made in Britannia Silver 95% and finished in matte color. I have selected Britannia silver instead of sterling because of the extra White color that gives the britannia, leaving the piece with a fine sanding finishing but without polishing. The design reminds of a viking wing and is an homage to some of the ancient tools that were used by the northern tribes of slavs and that has been discovered in treasure hoards in many archeological sites. 

The second piece is a mixture of techniques and imagination. The symbol came into my mind throughout a dream and I wanted to make it real so to remember not only  the fantastic oniric experience but that the things that we have in our minds and imagination, have their reflects in the real life. 

As I was experimenting I wanted to execute the project using different metals and techniques so to depict the complexity that a simple object can conceal. Using Copper, Brass and Silver, this box pendant has a blue enamel over an engraved base in copper and brass with silver hinges.
