Some "creature" breathes through this fleshy, skin-like metal, and "hangs" on delicate hooks. Ribs, veins, and flesh similar to our own bodies stretch across the hammered and bulging surfaces. Biomorphic in nature, the inspiration for this piece began with ideas of tree forms and female sexuality. The overall form is fierce and aggressive. Faces stare at the viewer through the symmetrical abstract imagery. It is completely hand-hammered in the ancient technique of chasing and repoussage, fully refined and articulated after ~200 hours. Blackened sterling silver and hand dyed, formed, and stained leather.
