With the introduction of precious materials such as sterling silver, gold and pearls, Steve Ford and David Forlano work is the boldest and most expressive to date. The forms and surfaces resemble organic structures such as those found washed up on a beach. They have complex, layered surface treatments and the colors are mysterious and unusual. Ford and Forlano strive to give each element in a piece it’s own diverse character while still making it look unified and whole.
