Collection: Mimises

"Mimises" was coined by Socrates, a term he used to explain the disconnect things often have from the nature they are trying to depict, the representation of nature, as opposed to simply the nature itself. While these pieces show every graver cut, every chasing ding, each stipple, its actually an illusion of work. All the hours I put into the original piece have been condensed into a rubber mold, which I can inject with wax that I can then cast. Now I can replicate these pieces near perfectly, repeatedly. Since these pieces are reproducible using this industrial technique I can now give certain pieces very affordable pricing. These pieces, replicas, clones, These representations of work, I am calling "Mimises".

The Ring you buy may vary slightly from the one in the photos, everything is made here in my shop from moldmaking through casting and clean up, every step can lead to small variations piece to piece.
