Crutis Arima is a metalsmith and ceramic artist. In his more sculptural work he uses the language of gardening as a metaphor for self and society. Crutis uses a 3D surface treatment, acrylic wash on metal, which brings heightened surrealism to his work. The “Transformed Adornment” series tries to find beauty in the overlooked and underappreciated through representation in metal, while being a reminder of the chaos that can occur when one does not temper ideologies. The objects' adornments grow out of the pieces linking them back to their decorative equalities. He wants the viewer or wearer of his pieces to see the little bit of beauty that can exist in everything. His pieces usually have a patina on them, while some pieces have a gold or silver tone to them to giving them a preciousness quality.
