About this Item

South African 1966 -
Bowl Avec Hole
forged copper
22cm high, 65cm wide, 46cm deep

Notes

This bowl was made as part of a body of work where Hicks worked in an expressive way. By directly forging in copper he recognised the agency of the material and the perfect tool.

"I was exploring my inner relationship with the feminine values of copper (Venus) as opposed to steel (Mars)"
