    Aluminum repousse panel, 'Elephant Migration'

    Narrow trails lead through clouded forest in a scene of exceptional beauty. Walking together across the landscape, elephants of all ages join a pachyderm migration. Revered icons in Thai culture, elephants are symbols of royal power, essential features of Buddhist art and architecture, and spiritual mentors. Thiva Boonnak portrays them in glowing repoussé. She applies pitch to a sheet of aluminum and embosses the motifs by hand. Once the work is engraved, she heats the sheet to remove the pitch and plunges it into a bath of boiling acid. She then washes it in a tamarind fruit solution and polishes it. The repoussé panel is affixed to a panel of rain tree wood.

    Thiva Boonnak

    Thiva Boonnak speaks reflectively of her art amidst the scattered tools and the pieces in progress that fill her family's old-fashioned workshop.

    "Our region's designs are all special. Each one is unique and grandiose." Her soft words echo the proud sentiments passed on by her family generations before her.

    Thiva Boonnak tells how her father taught her and her brothers the silversmith craft, and how he showed them not only the technical, intricate skills, but also transmitted the smith's labor of love. With such passion flowing from their hearts to their hands it is not difficult to understand why the work of Thiva Boonnak's family is so highly esteemed in Thailand.

    The Boonnak's home witnessed the birth of silver crafting in Thailand at the turn of the 20th century. King Chulalongkorn was patron of the arts and settled Burmese craftsmen the area. They shared the secrets of their ancient and intricate craft, which the Boonnak family has since elevated to its highest plateau.
