The newest and most ambitious installation in my collection. The piece is created from an original photogaph taken from the top of One Blackfriars, the new skyscraper next door to the Bankside Hotel where I was the recent Maker In Residence. We laser-cut an outline of the skyline view into a sheet of copper. A block of clear acrylic with etched line detail was placed behind and lit with L.E.D lights. This means a consistent light shines through the edge of the skyline. A Verdigris etch was applied to the lower half of the piece to create the green aging effect (the unique coloured effect that occurs when copper is weathered and exposed to air over a long time). The top half of the copper was left virtually untouched, leaving an almost sunset-like effect in the sky. Finally the peice was covered in a subtle lacquered finish to contain aging. Please note: this piece is very complicated to create. It is made to order. We can usually create and deliver in around 3 weeks.
