About this artwork
This sculpture was created using copper plate, gently formed into curves, then treated using a number of techniques to reveal the blues and greens or oxidized copper. The copper is 'suspended' on a hand carved wood base, which continues the sense of twisting and turning.
I find that the vibrant colors created in these natural process tell a story of flowing water. Of rivers and oceans and whirlpools, always changing, always evolving, always in motion.
