Lepel 1925

This silver spoon was made by Georg Jensen sometime between the late 19th and early 20th century. Looking at it now, I imagine Jensen in his studio, carefully hammering and shaping the metal, feeling the weight and coolness of the silver in his hands. There is an intimacy to such small, functional objects. When we look at it, we see not just a tool for eating, but a piece of sculpture that brings beauty to the everyday. The gentle curve of the bowl, the way it catches the light, how it feels in your hand. It's all so subtle, but so important. I bet Jensen thought about that a lot. Artists are always in conversation with each other, across time and space. Whether they’re working with paint, bronze, or silver, they are all trying to make sense of the world, to give form to their feelings and ideas. They embrace the ambiguity and uncertainty, allowing for multiple interpretations and meanings.
