| Gallery label | Jessica Jue’s work explores themes of balance and harmony. Ever Flowing Sculpture was inspired by the motion of water flowing over pebbles on a stream bed. It was made from a flat sheet of sterling silver which Jue raised into a three-dimensional form using hammers and stakes and decorated with strands of 24 carat gold foil. This traditional technique is called Keum-boo and involves fusing thin sheets of gold onto silver by carefully applying heat and pressure.
