Peter Bauhuis: Abecedarium. Jewel. Vessel. Implement.

Description

Peter Bauhuis is fascinated by the possibilities presented by cast metals. His jewellery and vessels are characterised by engaging with the process of casting and melting metals. By playfully oxidising gold, silver and copper, he achieves unexpected colours from matt white and pale greeny-yellow to deep orange and dark red. This publication a playfully subjective handbook and labyrinth, not only a monography of the artist Peter Bauhuis, but also a work that makes creative processes visible.
