Beautiful vases by Phil Cuttance

The vases are handmade faceted vessels that are produced individually by casting a water-based resin into a mold, which is then manipulated to create a unique form before each casting.

Cuttance says of the process: “The mould’s final shape, and strength, is dictated by which triangular facets I pop in and out. I do this each time I ready the mould for the next object, meaning that no two castings are the same.” This is a captivating example of a device used to make an object being just as beautiful and thoughtfully designed as the object itself.
