Vic's Artisan
Metalsmith
The process of organic metalsmithing - in which the material exudes
Afro-futurism and shows the hand of this Maker - is at the heart of my work.
I express this aesthetic by using the ancient techniques of chasing, light
repose, and the lost wax casting process. Seashells, high polish, and acid
baths are components that give the metals their voice, shouting as an
individual from their collective elements. Geometric shapes and marks
found in the metal, reflect my playfulness through abstract illustration.
