These three hand cast vessels are each crafted from a combination of metals, silver and brass, sterling silver and fine silver, copper and silver, using the lost wax technique of metal casting. Different coloured variations are created according to the oxidations of the applied alloys. The fusing metals create an impressive play of colours as they only partly mix.

This gold ring is handcrafted using the lost wax technique of metal casting. The voluptuous hollow double shape seems to be sewn on the ring. The matt surface shows traces of the casting process. Small defects of the procedure form a sensitive surface creating a unique and unrepeatable patina.

These three sculptural objects are hand cast in bronze. Although their title, Handles, points to the most prominent part, the heavy roundish objects invite you to take them with both hands. It could be the beginning of a ritual.

Peter Bauhuis bridges these two cast metal vessels, two separate alloys, through their peculiar stories. They both have to do with the sense of touch. Nordic Gold was developed to be the alloy for the euro cent coins. It is categorised by its strong resistance and is non-allergenic properties. Corinthian bronze was loved by the Romans, contains 1% gold and can be patinated to be black. The latter patina is constantly improved by touching the piece.

This metal vessel, a roundish double shape design, is hand cast from brass and silver 800. In the casting process alloys of different colours, yellow bronze and black oxidising silver, are simultaneously poured into the mould. They only partially mix. The dynamics of the process is frozen at the moment of solidification.
