Shattered Ladle

Regular price $250.00

A vintage soup ladle featuring a delicate hand-cut shatter pattern.

The Petri Dish series “turns the bowl of the spoon into a site of change,” becoming a medium for experimentation much like its namesake. Using a jewelry sawblade, Brian cuts delicate asymmetrical, fractal patterns into the spoons — a process that is especially difficult because of the uneven surface and changing thickness of the metal throughout the bowl of the spoon.

  • Repurposed Silver-plated Flatware
  • Measures 6" Long & 2.5" Wide
  • One of a Kind

Through these explorations he tries to find the humor and beauty in the objects he creates.
