'collect', 2010
all images © david clarke, 2010

british silversmith david clarke creates work which engages and challenges domestic objects.
his aesthetic relates to the subversive nature in which he responds to the traditions of his craft,
often result in surprising outcomes.

his recent project is a series of 'unusable tableware' made from electro plated nickel,
silver and pewter, with exaggerated forms or unexpected flourishes which would not typically
be seen in utensil design.
