The Melt (2016)

A vertical wall-mounted relief in mirror-polished 316L stainless steel. The surface swells and sags like liquefied metal, resolving at the bottom into a softened, irregular edge—as if the piece were caught mid-flow.

Artist Statement

The Melt studies the instant when form gives way. Across the panel, micro-undulations shear the environment into shifting cells so that reflections appear to slide downward, pooling near the base where the outline loses its rectilinear certainty. The work suspends entropy: steel becomes liquid to the eye, gravity becomes visible, and the surrounding world is pulled into the motion of the fall.

1/1 Modern Exhibition

Present on a flat, matte wall using a concealed sub-frame or French cleat rated for the full load. Light with soft, even grazing from above or from one side at 3000–4000 K and high CRI so the ripples read continuously without hard hotspots. Allow two to three meters of viewing distance for the field to resolve, keep adjacent colors neutral to let the reflections paint, and clean only with microfiber and a pH-neutral solution.
