Kneeling Figure in Silver

Kneeling Figure in Silver is a wide, domed sterling silver band with a reticulated, skin-like surface and a series of shallow indentations concentrated along one third of the ring. The form is deliberately convex and weighted, recalling the pressure and volume of bent knees against the ground. These indentations were made using domestic objects - keys, transforming tools of access and return into instruments of impact.  

The ring registers kneeling as a moment rather than a condition: a brief act of devotion, surrender, or appeal, held in suspension rather than endurance. The partial placement of the marks preserves a sense of frontality and direction, allowing the gesture to remain specific and unresolved.  

Within Holding Pattern, the piece marks a turn toward aftermath and ritualised stillness, rendering embodied memory permanent through pressure, contact, and weight impressed into silver.
