David Huycke
The Belgian artist David Huycke is one of the most important silversmiths working today. He first made a name with his sets of dishes, simple design and subtle use of materials and is now best known for his innovative approach to the traditional technique of granulation. He applies small silver beads to surfaces or builds his pieces directly from them. Huycke sets to work like a scientist or an alchemist, casting in moulds seemingly impossible concepts, incurring along the way risks such as breakage or collapse. Eventually those ideas and experiments are selected and elaborated into an object, where they exude a degree of stillness and have a natural implicitness, as if the work could not have been made any other way. The book provides an overview of his work over the past 25 years.
Goldsmithing & Silver Work
Hundreds of color photographs detail the procedures and display a breathtaking assortment of pieces by talented artists. Each innovative project introduces techniques that range from casting and stamping to hand engraving, electroplating, and more specialized methods. The chapter on gems alone--featuring the work of Bernd Munsteiner, considered the world's best gem cutter--makes this source book invaluable.
Wet Granular Matter
This is a monograph written for the young and advanced researcher entering the field of wet granular matter, and is keen to understand the basic physical principles governing this state of soft matter. It treats wet granulates as an instance of a ternary system, consisting of the grains, a primary, and a secondary fluid. After addressing wetting phenomena in general and outlining the basic facts on dry granular systems, a chapter on basic mechanisms and their effects is dedicated to every region of the ternary phase diagram. Effects of grain shape and roughness are considered as well. Rather than addressing engineering aspects such as existing books on this topic do, the book aims to provide a generalized framework suitable for those who want to understand these systems on a more fundamental basis.
Wet Granular Matter: A Truly Complex Fluid (Second Edition)
This is a monograph written for the young and advanced researcher who is entering the field of wet granular matter, keen to understand the basic physical principles governing this state of soft matter. It treats wet granulates as a ternary system consisting of the grains, a primary, and a secondary fluid. After generally addressing wetting phenomena and outlining the basic facts on dry granular systems, a chapter on basic mechanisms and their effects is dedicated to every region of the ternary phase diagram. Effects of grain shape and roughness are considered as well. Rather than addressing engineering aspects like existing books on this topic do, this book aims to provide a generalized framework suitable for those who want to understand these systems on a more fundamental basis. It spans a wide scope of questions, ranging from possible general principles behind the emergence of structure and pattern, to the interpretation of geological outcrop features we encounter in nature.
Raising the Bar
This book presents the work of 12 contemporary metalwork artists from around the world. They have all contributed to the knowledge and understanding of and creative practice in, metal, and have been selected on the basis of the quality and integrity of their work. This exhibition illustrates and celebrates this diversity of international practice and context, of vision, of skill and creative imagining in metal.
