Elements Series

Updated 16 October 2025
With some time off between shows I'm in production mode. The process requires patience, but I will be posting new work as it becomes available. Thanks for checking in - Jay
Contrast is a significant element in all of my work, be it the dark patina finish on the metal backs on my wall sculptures or the dye on the underside of my vessels and trays. Contrast provides definition and rhythm in design. In keeping with this I wanted to introduce an element of contrast into my overall body of work. My wall sculptures, vessels and trays are interpretations of forms found in nature; my Elements Series is an attempt to contrast that with forms that appear to have served some historical purpose. What that purpose may have been is now lost to the ages, and we are left to imagine their intended functions. The result being my rather mysterious Elements Series.
