Process

META MURAL

Created by digitizing a small piece of our intricately patterned MetaMATERIAL then scaling it up to wall size, we designed a custom hand painted mural that captures the fluid nature of our unique casting process but at a scale infeasible to make in resin.

With an ever-growing archive of MetaMATERIAL pieces and patterns to choose from, our MetaMATERIAL fragments evolve into an endless library of mural and design possibilities.

 

DRIP MIRRORS

Created from our process developed for our Drip Vessels, our Drip Mirrors capture the motion of resin falling, frozen in time. Each Drip Mirror is hand pigmented and poured with layers of resin creating a border of our signature stalactite drips. Each mirror we make is unique and non-repeating.

 

DRIP VESSELS

Though often thought to be either ceramic or glass, our Drip Vessels are neither. Elyse Graham has designed a unique process for creating these pieces. Each vessel form is hand-cast with hydrocal plaster inside of a unique balloon shape. The interior of each piece is poured with layers of resin, making it waterproof. Finally, each drip vase is hand-dyed by the artist with layer after layer of custom mixed pigments using one of our experimental finishing processes and then sealed with a UV resistant acrylic coating.

 

METAMATERIAL

Our MetaMATERIAL is a raw composite resin developed to engage with unexpected patterns and move our work beyond the confines of a mold.

Each cast piece of MetaMATERIAL is completely unique and non-repeating. Our MetaMATERIAL is cast, cut, carved, sanded and constructed using woodworking techniques and polishes to a beautiful satin finish.

 

RETROGRADE

The concept for Retrograde, a patterned material with a reversible colorway, is based on a process of experimentation, chance, and play. We begin by casting resin into simple shapes, circles, squares, and line. Then cut, arrange and re-cast these pieces within two layers of resin, to create a unique, unexpected and dual-toned material. The resonance of the disconnected repeating shapes creates a visual tension within the piece that is both entrancing and unnerving.
