Raw Materials in Amman
by Eric Jensen
Sunlight slants across a busy workshop counter in Amman, illuminating a chaotic spread of brassworking tools and raw materials. A pair of thick, heat-resistant oven mitts rests casually beside a row of small glass apothecary jars filled with colorful powders. Nearby, a heavy iron burnisher sits next to a wooden mallet, while scattered mosaic tile fragments catch the glare of the clear afternoon light. A copper cup holds a few key blanks, waiting to be stamped. The scene is dense with texture, from the smooth glass to the rough stone dust coating the surface. In the background, the blurred shape of a hanging pendulum clock marks the passage of time in this cramped, productive space.
