Maker's Statement:
Kaya creates metal containers that blend sculpture and utility. Inspiration for design stems from her abstract drawings of nature, in particular tropical flora and fruits. Kaya’s pieces are seductive and tactile; form is minimal and serene, the overall effect sensually therapeutic.
She applies silversmithing techniques such as forging and raising to silver, brass, steel and pewter. Her latest series is primarily in pewter, many pieces having been formed manually through a combination of metal formers and parts of the body. Her range of work includes vessels, bowls, platters and tableware. Kaya makes pieces for exhibitions, as well as to private commission.
