Keywords
The collaboration between Keith and Morris looked into metal techniques applied to textile structures. They have specifically worked here with Electroforming which replicates sculptural shapes with partial or minimal layers of fine silver, combining potential combinations of soft and hard forms.
Here a cloth neckpiece composed of a series of cloth fragments has been enhanced with the silver electro technology.
More About Me
Sarah Keith and Roger Morris together used textile and silver electroforming to merge soft and hard materials.
