SAND-CASTED AND HAND-POLISHED ALUMINIUM PANELS
I designed and produced these cast recycled aluminium murals during an expat year in Indonesia. With the help of my dear friend Komang, a very talented Balinese artist, we first carved the patterns onto wood panels. Then, we had them sand-casted in aluminum and carefully hand-polished in Central Java.
Sand-casted aluminum (after concrete…) is definitely my favorite material. It has a great combination of elegant shininess and industrial roughness.
NYEPI
The first drafts of this mural work were drawn during the night of Nyepi 2011, the Balinese “day of silence”. The drawing, carving, casting, finishing (and financing…) process took over a year…
