Anthropoware II

Not For Sale

Eva Lynch’s Anthropoware series are objects that highlight the interconnectedness between humans and nature. Through form, function, materials or an underlying narrative these works seek to create a greater understanding about the biography of an object and the wider impact of it’s very existence.

The ancient hammer techniques used to forge a ribbon torc in the iron age are the underlying processes used for Lynch’s works. The kinetic nature of this piece – that spins when propelled by the hand – induces in the user a meditative play state similar to that experienced by the maker forging these forms. The inclusion of antler bone in the piece pays tribute to the original tool that would have developed this kind of form in the Iron Age. Anthropoware II formed the initial template for the final installment in the Anthropoware kinetic series, Anthropoware V, which is currently housed at the National Museum of Decorative Arts, Dublin until Jan 2027.

Materials: copper, antler bone, steel.
