| 4 Silver Caddy Spoons commissioned by STYLES SILVER of HUNGERFORD especially for their current exhibition:
DON PORRITT - silver: light, texture and form
'There are two types of hammer texture finish to the anticlastic handles - one on the concave upper form and the other applied to both edges as a contrast to the plain concave section. The spoons echo the strong flowing lines of my jug designs and a well struck hallmark is sited on the underside of the handle as a distinctive part of the overall design.' |

Flow lines of textured silver wires spring from end to end to create the structure of the domed open-work lid These individually shaped wires, in compound curved lines, are fused together at intervals to shape the distinctive sculptural and tactile form of the oval box. Leaf-like spatial voids between the wires add to a sense of dynamic movement which is at the core of the design concept. The delicate open-work lid, a push fit on the body, is mounted within a substantial supporting rim. This element should be grasped when opening and closing the box lid. Flowing textured wires are shaped and contoured to the profile of the lid curvature, then secured together by stainless steel binding wires prior to the soldering process. There are 100 soldering operations required to complete the project.

CURVILINEAR
A theme based on interpretations of the flow of liquid when poured from a vessel such as a jug, beaker or flagon. Realisation in silver creates sharply modelled curvilinear lines which echo the dynamic quality of the flowing liquid. These undulating forms define the core of the concept and are layered section by section from separate silver profiles
