A Sculptry is a
copper Sculpture surrounded by an acrylic tinted cement base that
is fabricated into a complete wall mounted Tapestry. The work is similar to work in
the "Cloisonné Studio" but on a larger scale. The shimmering lines that you
see are made from polished copper and could be a stand alone sculpture.
The copper is sealed with
a metal sealer to resist oxidation. The color surrounding the copper is made
by tinting a special blend of cement and other products with acrylic paints.
Some
painting on the cured surface is done depending on the subject. The surface
is treated and slow cured to resist cracking. Although in some pieces
cracking is encouraged to create a look of age or interest. It is then
finished with a sealer. The frame is made of either wood,
wood products, steel or other materials depending on the piece. The frames are custom hand made
for each piece and painted, stained or
finished with a patina depending on the materials used. The copper, cement and
frame become one piece of art work through an elaborate system of mechanical
fasteners and supports. It is impossible to separate the components once
completed. When displayed the copper inlay reflects light and
color as the piece takes on a new look with changes in lighting or viewing
angle. Typically a Sculptry will weight between 10 and 35 pounds and can be hung
using normal picture hanging materials. I can install a cleat system
for hanging larger pieces. I have developed techniques to display pieces out
of doors also. As with any art work the best way to view a Sculptry is in person and in proper lighting. I display each piece in my own
home/studio/gallery to ensure they capture the light just as I intended. All
Sculptrys are original designs. Each one is hand made one at a time
with no copies or prints. The one you buy is the only one. I know you will be
thrilled when you see it in your own home or office.
