The Murmur series are ambiguous sculptural figurative forms that display a sombre
anthropomorphic disposition. Inspired by soft vulnerable postures observed in day-to-day
interactions, the vessels are made to be grouped as if in quiet conversations. Made using sheet metal, decorated with different tactile patterns and textures, the vessels are hand raised in two separate parts to create leaning forms.
Drawn to finding character and a human-like semblance in inanimate objects, the Ghanaian born silversmith, Francisca Onumah, creates ambiguous vessels and jewellery that reflect vulnerabilities and strengths through their anthropomorphic forms.
