In this exploration, I addressed the materials of metalsmithing and their traditional use.

Representing the Observable Textural Patterns of Moving Water in Stone

Description: I plan to create a representation of the textures of four distinct states of moving water in three stone sculptures. These structured textural elements are intended to provide compelling visual stimuli that will enhance the viewers' understanding of the sculptures. The dynamic quality of rhythm inherent in the four observable patterns will be conceptually and physically captured on a stone surface.
