Fanny

A lifelong passion for metal chips and shavings, shavings led her towards a compulsive study of the exact moment that the chip detaches from the machined part to become swarf
One is not the waste product of the other.

The machined piece is the object being made to a design with a specific aim. Swarf does not follow a predefined drawing. It hasn't been planned, its shape is unpredictable, and for that reason the result is both poignant and sharp

Just like Fanny: unpredictable, sharp, strict, rigorous, sometimes poignant and sharp as a metal chip.
Two halves of the same body, one analytical, logical and mathematical, the other visionary, creative, elusive, enigmatic and impossible to decipher.
Inside her lives a vortex that absorbs stray swarf to give rise to incredibly creative designs. This is why she's called the Crazy entrepreneur.

Swarf is usually considered a by-product of industrial processing, but for Fanny, it's a constantly-evolving art form.
When her creativity inspires her to make things out of metal shavings, it's not only to recover something that would otherwise be thrown away, She does it because in those shavings, she sees herself. An idea is born: the inspiration for a new creation, artwork, phrase or project.
