Innate Beauty

Inspired by the movement of tall grasses in the breeze, I tried to interpret its’ beauty and emotive qualities such as resilience and endurance by manipulating very thin steel wire.

Line creates movement through direction, space, volume, and texture in my work. Manipulating the physical and visual characteristics of fine steel metal wire allows me to explore various delicate structures interplaying between positive and negative spaces while creating volume, textures, space, colour, light and shadow in this form. Silver and gold plating were employed for colouring to express the beauty of nature. I hope this piece speaks to the beauty of endurance and harmonious survival in their environment.
