Golden Ginkgo Medium Glass Bowl by Michael Aram

MICHAEL ARAM

The Golden Ginkgo Collection takes its inspiration from the intricacies of form and texture found in foliage from around the world. By interpreting plant forms in cast metal, Aram presents work that is evocative of a natural environment transformed and redefined.

These pieces have wonderfully undulating leaves, which create an almost rococo surface of playful, delicate, and intricate forms. By combining the individually sculpted leaves, the natural forms join to create a complex patterning. I've tried to capture that sense of movement and fragility in metal. ~ M.
