Open Silver Ring

SUMMARY

I created this silver ring as a project for my Design II art class. I wanted to experiment with creating an open ring and fluid forms because I love the subtlety of the ring creeping up on one side of the finger, as if to reach out to the other end, as well as the illusion that the ring could fall off at any moment.

PROCESS:

The ring was created using lost wax casting. I carved the ring by hand and sprued it to the tree below to be cast.
