Working alone, Ellis Hartnett forged a hand sculpted partially from sterling silver, and partially from brass. The result is a fun sculpture with an interesting take on the traditional hand forge process
Forging, or hammering metal into shape, is a centuries-old art form that was part of everyday life for many centuries before modern times. Today, it's still popular in some areas of the world, such as Africa and India, where it's commonly used to create jewelry or furniture
The process involves heating up a piece of metal until it's malleable enough to be hammered into shape. In this case, Hartnett used a combination of brass and silver to create his hand sculpture.
