My grandparents came from Greece. When they came to this country they owned a restaurant called Hermes. cooking and growing food was important. My grandparents lived with us and we had this huge huge garden in our backyard, with pear, quince, peach, and cherry trees. They grew beans, tomatoes, lettuce, just about everything we needed. This little pea pod is folded, forged, and enameled, as if it were just picked from the garden.

More folding

These are the latest in my bending and folding  phase. One of the reasons that I started working in metal was because of it's sculptural lure. But when I was getting started, for some reason,  everything I did was flat. Flat is nice, but metal has the workability to be very 3 dimensional. Learning fold forming has greatly helped move me out of that 2nd dimension and into the 3rd. Can't wait to get to the 4th!

Bend Fold and Mutilate

One of the things I really like to do is bend, fold, pound, hammer, and alter metal. I've mostly just been playing and experimenting with shapes and images. It's fascinating to see what you can do with a hard, cold piece of metal. These rough shapes remind me of moths and bugs.
