CAST IN FIRE

Bronze · 14 × 9 × 6 in · 8.4 lbs

The first piece in the Crucible series. Cast from a single pour, the surface retains the raw texture of the investment mold — unpolished, uncompromised.

Brass · 11 × 11 × 4 in · 6.1 lbs

A study in negative space. The form is defined by what was removed — the wax burned away, leaving only the void made permanent in brass.

Iron · 18 × 12 × 8 in · 22 lbs

Iron holds heat differently than bronze. This piece was cast at maximum temperature — the surface oxidized in the mold, creating a patina that cannot be replicated.

Bronze · 8 × 8 × 12 in · 9.8 lbs

Named for the visible sprue mark left intentionally on the surface. A record of the moment the metal entered the mold — the exact point of transformation.

Iron · 20 × 10 × 10 in · 31 lbs

Cast from a wax form that was deliberately over-invested — the ceramic shell cracked during burnout, leaving fracture lines in the final iron surface.

Brass · 16 × 6 × 6 in · 7.3 lbs

Flux is the chemical agent that cleans the metal before the pour. This piece takes its name from that moment of purification — the metal at its most elemental.
