On Objects in the Reticulation Series
These works are not designed as adornment.
They are constructed as objects that happen to be worn.
The form does not fully resolve—it maintains its own internal logic.
Weight is not reduced.
Irregularity is encouraged.
Each piece sits between the material’s resistance, and the author’s restraint, regarding:
symmetry,
refinement,
repetition.
The form is completed, but not resolved.
The surface is extensively worked, but its tension is preserved.
Edges are refined, but not regularized.
Mass remains concentrated.
The object does not disappear into the wearer.
It asserts its presence.
To wear it is not to decorate, but to carry what remains.
On Reticulation
Heat is not applied to control the material, but to destabilize it.
The surface resists, then yields—collapsing inward before rising again.
What appears as texture is the record of repeated stress.
Not carved.
Not assembled.
Form emerges through sustained exposure—guided, but never fully controlled.
No two outcomes are the same.
The result cannot be replicated.
The metal holds its own history: rupture, contraction, accumulation.
Density builds where structure fails.
What remains is not just an object, it is a stabilized event.
Each piece is singular.
Each form, a consequence.
