Gabi Veit
Italian Metal Artist
“I HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR YEARS WITH ONE OF THE MOST ELEMENTARY CULTURAL OBJECTS IN THE WORLD: THE SPOON.”
From the basic geometric simplicity - the handle as a line and the spoon as a circle - she develops an overwhelming variety of forms. Her spoons are very distinctive, cast in silver, and quite often blackened. Spoons with knobs and nubs, spikes and holes, with extended, round or burgeoning bowls, with wings and thorns, plant-like spoons, spoons reminiscent of fruit or figurines, naturalistic, archaic or futuristic spoons, montages or collages of spoons. Nature sets an example. Every branch, every flower and every leaf: a unique piece. Just like Gabi Veit's creatures.
