Patinated Bronze
About this work
Outdoor patina encouraged over six months; the surface oxidises differently in each climate it inhabits.
Technique
Lost-wax casting. Phosphor bronze alloy for superior outdoor oxidation characteristics.
Surface & finish
Initial hot ferric patina. Natural outdoor oxidation thereafter. Annual beeswax maintenance recommended.
Artistic background
“Designed explicitly for outdoor placement, this work was cast and then left in the studio garden for six months before delivery — exposed to rain, frost, and sun — to begin its patination process in the sculptor's own climate. The buyer agreed to document the colour progression annually. Each photograph becomes part of the work's ongoing provenance. The form itself references coastal erosion — a body worn smooth by repetition.”
