Description: | Bowl, the mokume gane technique used in this piece involves the diffusion of copper, copper alloys and fine silver. In this piece the pattern is punched into the surface and this produces a more graphic, painterly quality more reminiscent of textile than metal. The pattern is distorted in the forming of the bowl and it is this combination of pattern and form that signifies the work of McCallum.
