Bending the Circle
“Suppose time is a circle, bending back on itself. The world repeats itself, precisely, endlessly.” – Alan Lightman (Einstein’s Dreams, 1992)
Story
For me, the circle is where everything starts, exemplified by a beautiful quote from Alan Lightman that inspired the name of this series: ”Suppose time is a circle, bending back on itself.” As if you drop an elastic band and take it from there.
By intersecting, juxtaposing, bending, stretching and further manipulating circles (and discs) you can create al kinds of forms, from spheres and infinity shapes to ovals, ovoids, ellipsoids, oloids and then some. And then there are so many ways we have made circles part of our language: ‘going round in circles’, ‘coming full circle’, ‘the inner circle’, ‘the circle of life’ and so on.
So even though it’s a simple form, I will always come back to it to further explore its technical possibilities and metaphorical meanings.
Form
Literally and figuratively a series about circular design, featuring the circle and its various derivatives (such as ovals, imperfect circles, infinity shapes and spheres).
Technique
Bending the Circle jewels are hand-fabricated with simple tools like a saw, hammer, file and hand drill. Some pieces are soldered with a handheld torch. They’re polished with sandpaper and in an electric rock tumbler.
Material
Salvaged or offcut scrap metals like zinc, brass, iron or aluminium and sometimes repurposed silver and old Perspex.
“The simplest forms in the universe are the sphere and the circle.” – Alexander Calder (interview with Katherine Kuh, ’62)
