With its sinuous lines, the flatware formally reflects Lynnʼs ongoing interest in Art Nouveau and the late-19th-century designs of architect and designer Victor Horta. Beginning with the premise that all flatware is designed from the spoon, Lynn conceived of the cutlery as a kind of genetic system made up of stem, leaf, and flower, and capable of endless variations. Lynn produced the flatware using a three-dimensional digital-printing method and layers of liquid metal. The result is that each piece is figuratively articulated and differentiated from the others with subtle mutations, as the basin and tines of the fork blend in surprising combinations. <br/><br/></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Karen Kice<br/>Neville Bryan Assistant Curator<br/><br/>Zoë Ryan<br/><span>John H.
