EX CHALYBIS

In order to make the technical path we deal with in this publication easier to understand, we are pleased to present a work that already contains in the name the expressive possibilities that can be performed in this procedure. The idea of ​​casting an angel of steel as an emblem of our process was born from a double consideration. First of all iconographic and then historical. It embodies the improvements made in the course of three years of experiments on small format castings and finally merged into the thirty-four elements that make up our work. It should be noted that, unfortunately, the figure was not cast in one piece, due to the poverty - alas - of means and to the pioneering use of materials and tools that have nothing to do with other casting techniques, which could not be predict the outcome. It was necessary to experiment. Time and perseverance have rewarded us.
