About the Artwork
Made using the fukiwake casting method where two different metals, black copper and brass are poured into the mold.
I had a hard time creating the sharp circular pattern.
The casting mold was made in a traditional way called sogata casting. The mold is made with clay and sand, patterns are drawn on the inner side of the mold before it becomes dry, and the mold is then baked. A smaller mold is placed inside the patterned mold, and melted metal is poured in between the outer mold and inner mold.

Multiple metal casting
Multiple metal casting (fukiwake) is a technique in which two or more different types of molten metal are cast together in the same mold. The metals are added consecutively and produce works with elegant, flowing patterns.
