The work
With a textured, detailed surface, Gjerdevik creates a story within his work. With each engraving, rough texture, and indent, he is guiding the viewer to experience the different details of themes of solitude and loss. His attention to detail invites viewers to look closely and engross themselves in the changing texture and form of this piece.
"Pyramid" transcends the boundaries of material and theme, showcasing Gjerdevik’s ability to traverse different mediums. The sculpture stands as a testament to his talent in creating complex, boundless visual realms, guiding the audience on a journey of introspective exploration. “Pyramid” works to create a connection with itself and the viewer, challenging the viewers to think deeply and personally when looking at art.
Materials & making
Cast bronze
Bronze holds detail that few materials can. Cast from the artist's original, each edition carries the same surface, weight and gravity, a physical record of the hand that made it, hardened into an alloy that will outlast everyone who touches it.

01
Mould and wax
The artist's original is captured in a flexible mould, from which a hollow wax replica is taken and refined by hand until every surface matches the source.
02
Lost-wax casting
The wax is encased in a ceramic shell and fired; the wax runs out and molten bronze is poured into the void it leaves, taking on the exact form of the original.
03
Chasing and assembly
The rough cast is released from its shell, sprues removed, and seams chased away by hand so the metal reads as a single continuous surface.
04
Patina and finish
The finished bronze is coloured with heat and chemistry, then sealed with a hand-applied patina unique to each edition.
