Uisge (2024)

Uisge explores reflectivity in water. The highly-polished pieces in this collection mimic the glistening surfaces of water, a flowing river or a simple puddle.

To achieve this, I apply intense heat to silver, removing the flame as molten metal flows and blends together. In this moment, the silver is frozen in its liquid form, preserving its fluidity and lending a distinct texture to the work.

This collection is made mostly from recycled silver off-cuts that have been collected from previous projects.

‘Uisge’ translates as ‘water’ in Gaelic.

The collection is available to purchase here.
