Twilight Brooch, 2022

2.75" x 2.75" x 1"
$800

Originally from Kansas City, Kansas, and now based in Savannah, Georgia, Ben Dory is fascinated by the mechanics of granulation, an ancient technique whereby small, primarily gold spheres are fused together using a torch or kiln. A pioneer of the stainless steel granulation technique, Dory uses special machines, including a tiny silver vacuum, to micro-weld the steel granules together and onto a base surface. His work both honors the tradition of granulation and breaks from it. He works within the laws of Euclidean geometry, but these do not constrain his creativity. As Dory explores the possibilities of his technique, his style shifts from scientific and molecular to emotive and ornate, reminiscent of the Victorian era with all its flourishes.Exhibition Sponsor:
