Tall Bee Vase Mold Mold
This is a mold. It was made by Michael Izrael Galmer. It is dated 2015 and we acquired it in 2015. Its medium is molded rubber and plastic. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
Galmer combines traditional skills and a depp understanding of materials and modern production. Trained in engineering in the USSR, he took up silversmithing in the US. After carefully observing nature and materials, he creates concept drawings, and chooses one to provide and expand with details. He then makes molds and models to further develop his ideas. When this cast-silver vase came out of the final mold, Galmer gilded and finished it with applied bees set with amber, garnet, and shell, providing color and dynamism.
