[BCMA] Mentor & Metalsmith Exhibition

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Mentor & Metalsmith is an exhibition by silversmith, Wesley Harris, in
tribute to his teacher, Arthur Brecken.  The display contains 23 of Mr.
Brecken's finest silver pieces, 11 of Wesley's early works directly inspired
by his teacher's, and 39 current and new pieces made in tribute to him.  The
progression of work both illustrates how Wesley's style evolved out of Mr.
Brecken's, as well as what influenced the latter's work. 

 

The items on display are organized into 6 themes and 5 pairings/groupings.
The themes are: the Chinese influence; precise soldered construction and
cumulative processes; gardens and nature as inspiration; humour; music; and
faith.  The groupings/pairings are: perfume bottles; spoons; tea services;
sculptural rings; and boxes inspired by architecture.
