I have completed 5 small sculptural pieces that combine formed recycled metal and stone or cement. One of the 5 pieces in fact has 3 metal forms attached to a very hard polished stone - see above - photo of the piece sitting on a ledge in front of my anvil.
As you can see from the process photo below quite a few of the metal forms have some beautiful brass and rainbow highlights on their back surfaces.
The photo below shows me drilling into the base of the form so that 1.5mm brass rod can be hammered and glued into the form to use to attach to the stones and cement. The third photo is one of the pieces in the sun to help the glue to dry - the metal forms needed to be propped up with some pieces of wood.
Following are a number of photos off the pieces.
These small sculptures will probably head over to Scotland.
What a splendid design, Barry. I love the unexpected combination of materials and how they’re perfectly balanced visually.
