The Momento Collection by Jordan Keaney is a series of hand-formed bowls, in Brass, Copper and Aluminium. After a ‘blank canvas’ bowl form is spun on the lathe, Keaney hammers the bowls to shape, as he calls it ‘heating and beating’, placing each bowl under the flame of a blowtorch between hammering sessions. With each bowl being a different material and thickness, the result of each blow to the bowls has a different impact on the various materials. The soft composition of the thinner aluminium results in a cloud-like state and the thicker copper with a greater fluidity results in a more undulating form.
The inspiration behind Momento was the want to preserve key moments in the designer’s past, and that the material of the bowls, after being formed, hold the memory of every impact that got them to where they are, not dissimilar to Keaney’s journey. Every swing of the hammer used to form these pieces can be seen in each unique shape. The colour of each bowl derives from visual highlights at milestone points in Keaneys design journey, a firehouse he lived across from, a tea he would prepare every morning, key moments, forever preserved in these functional sculptures.
