Metal — The Cutting Edge of Birth
Metal is the phase of birth — not the beginning of the idea, but the moment the work is cut free from everything it doesn’t need.
This is where the artist:
- Refines — removes, simplifies, sharpens
- Commits — makes the decisions that can no longer be undone
- Lets Go — releases the painting from the artist’s hand into its own, finished form
Metal gives a work its edge and its independence — the moment it becomes something separate from you.
