Essence of Form

Aside from a distinctively strange quality, one of the things that initially drew me to Alex's art is the way he adapts detail and form to the style of the individual piece.

This can be seen throughout all of Alex's collections, which range from futuristic goth to archaeological magick and many naturalist interpretations in-between.

In some pieces, the details flow in a way that is akin to glassblowing- giving the finished silver an organic look. In others, the forms themselves are reduced to their archetypal essence.
