Remnants is part of my Fragments of What Remains series — a collection of contemporary metal artworks exploring memory, nostalgia and the traces we carry through life.
Made from layered fragments of copper, brass and nickel silver, this piece is etched, embossed, stitched, scorched and weathered by hand, bringing together worn surfaces, marks and fractured forms that speak of time, change and what is left behind.
For me, Remnants reflects on the pieces of memory, relationship and place that remain with us — fragments gathered over time, quietly shaping who we are.
Stitched joins and collaged metal forms suggest connection and repair, while scorched surfaces, embossed textures and worn edges hint at stories lived, altered and remembered.
Inspired by family history, cloth, memory and the landscapes that shape us, Remnants considers what we hold onto — and what remains after time has reshaped the things we once knew.
A one-off original artwork, handmade in Cornwall by metalsmith Belinda Latimer.
