transmutations

a few weeks ago i was in a desperate need for silver... so went looking for it.
after rummaging for a while through old boxes, patiently awaiting review after the last studio move, i found a few old experimental cast pieces, tucked away in a small pouch.

one of them, was untitled, a very tactile piece.
it had a good weight to it.

i had cast it decades ago, gifted it to my then 99 year old grandmother and gotten it back when she passed, a few years later.

the sign was clear: time for some much needed transmutation!
after due and proper ceremonies, here is what happened to 55 grams of untitled cast fine silver:
