FROM THE JUDGES
Finlay Grant from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design for “Splash”: Strong visual communication and a wonderful interpretation of concept went into creating this colourful, unique work. The judges are particularly keen to see how additional precious metals feature in future.
OVERVIEW
Design a piece or suite of silverware to be used or displayed as a centre piece at a formal evening event after all restrictions have been lifted. Your piece(s) should celebrate a person or group of people who have inspired you over the duration of the pandemic. You are encouraged to interpret this in any way that
allows you to produce a unique and distinctive silverware centre piece.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK
As a competitive swimmer for 9 years, Finlay Grant considered the colours, shapes and patterns seen in swimming pools. Exploring photographs of tiles lines distorted by water sparked inspiration, and Finlay wanted his work to convey as sense of depth and transparence.
