- Torso

- Sophies Feet
|
|

- These Torso and Body details forms Chan
Andreassend's first products ranges.
-
- The initial body fragments were treated as
individual objects and as other pieces were added to the collection
they were able to form a vignette of a face as well as a freize or mural
with a number of fragments arranged together.
-
- In all 62 different designs have been sculpted since
they were first released in 1982 . Over 16 000 pieces have been sold in Design and Home stores
making it one of
the more successful collections of handmade objects in New Zealand.
-
- They are still handmade in the original
moulds.
-
- With the use of resin production
techniques further pieces were developed including keyrings, magnets,
jewellery boxes, paperweights and bookends.
-
- The body continues to be an inspiration
, with new ceramic pieces from Bowls
and Lights
to jewellery.

Ronald and his father Jim developed
their own technique to make paper pulp from recycled newspaper. The
result was a lightweight and strong casting medium perfectly
suited to the range of metal leaf and paint finishes. The moulding
procedures incorporated hand
moulding techniques from the late 19th century Papier mache industry.

These feet are based on the feet of
Ronald & Karen's daughter Sophie when she was eight years
old. Two other smaller sized
pairs, named for their son Lucas and baby niece Monique, complete
the series. The design was included in the Around
our Kitchen Table series |
