These multi-layered, dimensional, fabricated wall constructions use techniques that combine free-flowing abstract coloration (patinas) within a context of great precision and design and are inspired by my eclectic interests in spirituality, history and mathematics. 62 designs follow.

The copper is colored with a variety of processes that create beautiful greens, blues, reds and brown patinas, depending on the exact process used.  Copper is a soft metal, therefore the patinated copper is glued to a rigid substrate, usually 1/4" aluminum. The copper-substrate composite is then cut, finished and stacked to create the constructions. All edges are primed and painted black for dramatic effect.

Many of these designs look great  displayed in different orientations. Most of these wall pieces are light weight (under 20 lbs.) and easy to install. 

These metal art pieces are often used as focal points of interior design in modern corporate settings and upscale, contemporary homes. Weights are reasonable and these wall pieces are easily installed.


I can do most of these designs for you in 9 different styles:

1. Melted brass lines on copper with mottled reds, browns, oranges  - salt-fire patina
2. Natural blue - this is copper treated with ammonia vapors and salt or similar
3. Natural green - this is copper treated with a ferric chloride solution or similar
4. Brass with Brown/Rust - this is another natural flame color but there is minimal mottling
5. Aluminum - clean bright silver color with an attractive brushed finish
6. Aluminum with transparent colors, gold or silver leaf, etc.
7. Painted - tell me the colors you want, give me paint chips to match and I will do an interesting abstract painting, mount it on wood and do one of these wall sculptures for you with the cut-out pieces.
8. Steel or stainless steel
9. Bronze - brushed, flamed and or patinated.
