The series of bronze sculptures titled “Beyond…” alludes to natural providence beyond vision and hearing, beyond all human perception. A symbol-like motif is hidden, incised onto the bottom of a seated figure. The bronze sculptures were caste in Chiang Mai in a traditional casting method, a pursuit of technical excellence and decorative beauty.
