The Award
Cast in brass.
Finished by hand.
A single ascending gesture, weighted deliberately — designed to be held before it is displayed.
The Object
Weight was the
first decision.
An object that recognizes a decade of work should not feel light in the hand. Each piece is cast, polished and hand-finished, so no two catch light identically.
- Solid polished brass
- Hand-brushed, unsealed
