Just facilitated a “safe space” to make an meaningful impression. Some beautiful results, pressed into copper & hopefully increasing the participants’ sense of the trees presence, their beauty and their importance. #coppersmith #trees #A.R.T. #attentionrestorationtheory
Tasked to produce four identical copper domes (using my hands). Been nice to resume the rhythm & get lost in the beats of sinking copper again. Nice to know I can still do it ~ now to share it with someone else... #coppersmithing #handmade #metalsmith
More tactile/textured pressed copper. I received some lovely comments about my last post. Thanks for looking everyone - the encouragement is very welcome & is good for building my confidence in ‘putting it out there…’ #coppersmith #metalwork #tactileart #confidence building
Attempting to un-pack & understand my influences…Reading back through my MA (2011-2013) notebook, reminds me that certain themes are still present and prescient in my process. The privilege of working with other artists & creatives, this week (as part of the @designfestbrum ) has given me a chance to reflect & ultimately validates my, ever fluctuating, output. I need to spend more time in such life affirming company ~ it does me the world of good 🙏🏼 (The first 6 images are photos of work produced by embossing session participants) #isamunoguchi #dyslexicartist #blindemboss #hapticcopper #pressforming
The Birmingham Design Festival’s coming round again in early June. I really enjoyed being part of the ‘Gather’ event last year. Their logo works really well in embossed copper shim & enamel😃 @bdf_gather@bhamdsgn@designfestbrum@steamhouse_uk
