About the work...
Kenny Yong-Soo Son is an object maker based in Sydney, Australia. With background in metal craft and industrial design, the focus behind Son’s practice is to create work that resembles a sense of longevity and handcraftsmanship.
As an object maker, Son’s foremost intentions are to produce ‘ordinary’ work to the ‘ordinary’ world.
“I want nothing more than my works to be appreciated for what they are, but more importantly, used without much difficulties. I do not expect my work/s to be cherished in a close d cabinet - display and therefore, allowing it to be part of this world, successfully surviving through the means of a small - batch production justifies what I am trying so hard to do with my work practice.” – Kenny Son

Kenny Son - IBSA Set Square
Steel & Fine Silver
20 x 14 x 0.2 cm
About the work...
Kenny Yong-Soo Son is an object maker based in Sydney, Australia. With background in metal craft and industrial design, the focus behind Son’s practice is to create work that resembles a sense of longevity and handcraftsmanship.
Rulers are made using a technique called Ibsa. IBSA is a traditional Korean metal-craft technique that involves using a chisel and a chasing hammer to create narrowly spaced indentations across the entire surface of the object in horizontal and diagonal directions. As a result, the surface becomes somewhat similar to woven or intertwined fabric. Onto this surface, using gold, silver and/or bronze can be inlaid into the indentations created by the chisel.
