The Making

From maquette
to finished form

The grid tells the story of making, not just the made. Each phase is documented as it happens.

Maquette

Every work begins as a palm-sized study in oil-based clay — a private conversation between instinct and material before scale enters the room.

II

Armature

Steel and aluminium wire become skeleton. The armature determines posture, weight distribution, and the invisible grammar of the final form.

Building

Clay is applied in slabs, then thumbed, paddled, and carved. The surface at this stage holds every decision — none are erased.

Casting

The lost-wax process. A mould is taken, the clay destroyed, molten bronze poured at 1080°C. What survives is permanent.

Patination

Chemical patinas are applied with heat. The colour of bronze is not fixed — it is chosen, layer by layer, until the surface says what the form means.
