Liverpool artwork of the week 2011-10. ‘Seven Standing Still’ Sterling silver and Mixed media by Stuart Cairns in Contemporary British Silversmiths – SIDE x SIDE – EDGE > EDGE at the Capstone 25 Feb – 6 May 2011
Just one of the truly amazing silversmiths in this prestigious exhibition.
This series of seven vessels sit side by side, each given a different character by the addition of an object or material.
The silver has been milled down to a fine grade and left matt emphasising its delicate and soft nature.
The fastenings sit against the silver in contrast, each offering a differing story through an implied history of everyday.
