School of Design Silversmithing & Jewellery

Laura To

Offering a surrealist and materialised vision of water frozen in its movement, like a
snapshot in three dimensions, this collection captures the subtle reliefs of the waves
and currents in the form of both functional and sculptural objects and vessels.
Each piece is designed through the union of both contemporary and traditional
silversmithing techniques to transform this body of work into windows that visualise
the water which surrounds us all on this earth, like images captured to represent
physical water.
Using a palette of precious metal as well as combining contemporary materials
within the making process helps to highlight the contrasts of the light, reflections, and
shadows of the aesthetic visuals seen through my observational research of water.
Drawing on the experience of being in front of the sea or ocean, where you stand in
silence and enjoy the rhythm of the waves and the infinite colours of the water,
offering a moment of contemplation, my collection is faithfully titled, The Memory of Water
