Artwork Description
Boris Bally creates at least one set of tableware every year. These pieces are examples of his earlier work, when he primarily used silver and ebony and rarely incorporated any color. He is inspired by machinery and has given these works an industrial appearance that evokes precision tools or mechanical parts.
