Day 10 of #tendaychallenge posting older works. Actually this will be the last one of this challenge series! Silver Organism series begun since 2001. Although I trained as a blacksmith, I had an opportunity to create something in silver. I was an artist in residence at Liverpool Hope University where amazing silversmith Chris Knight @chrisknight925applied used to teach and advised me to send a letter to Sheffield Assay Office for a possible sponsorship. I was given about 10kg(!) silver rods to kick start this series. The first image was my very first silver piece which became a part of Sheffield Assay collection. I can not thank enough for all of people supported this ridiculous idea. I hope you can see the difference between first five and the last five images. In My first two years, the design was all square spikes, but now I have more than 100 various component designs. #silverorganism #forgedsilver #tigwelding #silver999 #sheffieldassayoffice https://www.instagram.com/p/CITadguBnmP/?igshid=1rz6zp3kv315y
