Sound Shapes Form

Disharee’s line of inquiry explores the future of the bell metal craft through innovation in form and design language. The field research has documented the craft’s visual and spatial elements with nuanced observation and study of material history, the craft community, and the change in the object over time. While the use of objects over time has gone from everyday routines to rituals in temple worship, the circular form has remained consistent. Through making and collaboration with the artisans, Disharee is exploring new forms that deform the circle organically and their effects on the sonic properties of the final object.
