Great Article about Pewter in Metalsmith Magazine featuring and discussing the work by Tamara Johnson and her experience with the metal -
"Sculptor Tamara Johnson previously recreated common household objects in bronze. When she lost access to foundries during the pandemic, she turned to the one metal she could melt on a hotplate. She has cast replicas of saltine crackers, okra, and a can of tomatoes-which she finishes with oil paint. Johnson says, "In my work the object has to be remade because there is something about the simulation of a thing that turns it into a body, and then that body is able to have other reverberations and echoes in the space. Metal allows it to endure.”" - Ana Lopez for Metalsmith
