The Cucurbita Ring explores the intricate structures and spiralling tendrils found in photographic studies of plants. Named after the Cucurbita genus, the design draws on the patterns, rhythms and sculptural qualities of the natural world, translating the delicate structures of plant growth into a piece of wearable sculpture.

Hand-sculpted in wax using the traditional Japanese technique of Mitsuro Hikime, the ring captures the fluid movement of curling tendrils and unfolding forms. Cast using the ancient lost-wax process, its surface retains the expressive marks and textures of the original wax sculpture, bringing together material, gesture and form.

The bronze version is finished with a green patina, developed through my research into natural methods of metal colouring. Its changing surface enhances the contours of the piece, recalling the effects of weathering and erosion on metal exposed to the elements. This process reflects my wider interest in the natural world, from the study of plant structures to the subtle transformations that occur over time.

Bringing together botanical observation, traditional casting and experimental surface treatments, Cucurbita explores the relationship between natural forms and sculptural adornment.
