Slideshow: Beyond Jewelry -- Enlightenment #769

Published: November 21, 2009

Click here to watch a video slideshow featuring 25 photos that David Huang took while he created his solid 22k gold vessel, Enlightenment #769.

You can follow along, step by step, as David Huang forms the vessel's shape through raising the metal with a hammer and stakes, chases the stylized details on Enlightenment #769's surface, solders an ornamental rim on the bowl, and eventually burnishes the surface until it gleams.

For a more detailed look at David Huang's process, you can click here to peruse an album of 80 photos. These captioned photos show David Huang's entire vessel-making process, from a single flat sheet of metal to a highly detailed sculpture.

You can read about the inspiration behind David Huang's sculpture in the January 2010 issue's Beyond Jewelry section, page 82.
