Artist Statement:

Ganymede - The Art of Balance & Transformation

The Ganymede scissor stands as more than a tool; it is a reflection of duality and the transformative power of balance. From its inception, Ganymede was inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken pieces are mended with gold, symbolizing strength through imperfection. This idea of finding beauty and resilience in our flaws shaped the first Ganymede scissor, a symbol of rebirth and growth.

As Ganymede has evolved, so has its meaning. The newest Ganymede Black & Gold embodies the ancient concept of "In Yo" (Yin and Yang), representing the harmony of opposites. Black empowers gold, and gold empowers black—two forces that, when combined, create something stronger and more profound. This scissor is the physical manifestation of that balance: a fusion of strength and elegance, form and function, art and craft.

Drawing on the rich history of black and gold in Japanese culture, from the noble Katana swords to sacred guardian statues, Ganymede reflects timelessness and power. The Kongo Rikishi statues, which protect temples, symbolize the eternal guardianship of beginnings and endings—just as Ganymede guards and guides the hand of the artist, transforming vision into creation.

With every cut, Ganymede transcends being a mere tool; it becomes a catalyst for transformation. It bridges the past and the future, allowing the artist to continuallyevolve, grow, and embrace the harmony of contrasts. The fusion of black and gold symbolizes the unity of opposing forces, reminding us that true strength lies in balance. Through this duality, new realms of creativity are unlocked.

Ganymede is not just a tool—it is art. It is the embodiment of craftsmanship, an extension of the artist’s hand, guiding their evolution and transforming vision into reality. A symbol of transformation and endless possibilities.
