I am very much an amateur silversmith, still learning the discipline through book study,some night classes and time at the bench. I live in Ireland, a few minutes walk from the Giants Causeway, and my inspiration comes from the land - literally. I have made four-, five-, six-, seven- and eight-sided boxes reflecting the structure of the famous Causeway stones, the symmetry of these natural curiosities is superlative.
I am also fascinated by the interlace patterns woven in the old Irish manuscripts, the Celtic craftsmen had an exceptional talent for creating designs representing endless life. With a little help from a modern day drawing program it has been possible to incorporate a two dimensional design into a three dimensional structure.
