Adaesi Ukairo shapes her sculptural forms from copper and brass, lifting each creation from flat sheets of metal using hammers and forming stakes.
Working intuitively she engages her metals unique properties of malleability and strength to explore in tangible form the fluid movement of energy.
Her balanced, one-off highly textured and patinated forms, allow space for individual interpretation.
