Hand engraved, chased and formed. Engraved detail, deep and flat chasing merge with bulbous curves formed on wood. Undulating movement within currents inspired this centrepiece. Exhibited in May and June 2010 as part of 'Handmade' at Fortnum and Mason

Flat chased and formed on wood. The opposing directions in this piece reference the Coriolis Force; the effect of the spinning earth on underwater currents.

Miriam Hanid
I use the techniques of chasing, repoussé and forming on wood. The chased decoration is started first while the piece is flat and the form built up afterwards; a specialist technique I have adopted.
The sea has influenced the work I produce. My hand sketches and photographs documenting the coastline of my home town Lowestoft, are scattered around my workspace. Motifs from water inspire sculptural manifestations of movement, which bring a static space to life.
