Celestial shaped vessel

This copper vessel is part of the Biophilia series. Utilising thermal projection, molten copper is poured onto a hemisphere mould, yielding a vessel with an expansive rim. Sections are oxidised by heat and cracked fissures, formed during cooling, enhance the planetary allure of the sculpture, evoking a sense of fragility akin to societal and environmental collapse.
