George Sawyer's patterned metalwork is an interpretation
of Mokume, an ancient Japanese wordsmith’s technique
in which two colors of steel were folded into a swirling mass
of bends and curls. A blade forged from this complicated billet
was of unsurpassed strength and exhibited a beautiful, wood
grain-like surface. Using this technique, George Sawyer forges
billets of colored golds into unique pieces of sculptural
metalwork, each a study in pattern and color, miniature paintings
in gold.
