MORRIS  WAZNEY

After graduating from art school, I built my own foundry to continue casting bronze independently. As I learned the intricacies of bronze casting, my creative themes evolved toward generational patterns, shared nostalgia, and organic forms — including fruit and body casting — as a way to explore storytelling through material.

Edition Philosophy

My sculptures are made in limited editions of 28, a number inspired by the 28 panels on the south doors of the Florence Baptistery by Lorenzo Ghiberti. I encountered the remaking of these doors in 2016, and the intersection of ancient history and contemporary foundry practice left a lasting impression. That moment sparked my desire to contribute to the legacy of bronze casting. The number 28 remains a reminder of that experience — and of the value of dedicating a lifetime of careful, deliberate craftsmanship.
