Patination
Every unique patina is created by hand, the process involves applying multiple thin layers of chemical solution onto the heated bronze surface and the resulting finish is a complex composition of metal oxides.
The colours derive from the compositions of the recipes used and the visual patterns are formed by both a reaction to the bronze alloy and the method of application. Every patina will react to the environmental conditions the work is placed in, which will in time have its own reaction on the patina, sunlight, moisture and temperature all can have a long term effect of how the patina naturalises to a specific environment. The surfaces are sealed with high quality sealant which provides long term UV protection.
All of my work is available in a range of different patinas, each finish is developed for a specific piece and can be selected as part of the commissioning a sculpture. In addition a specific patina can be developed to suit an interior scheme or just a personal preference. The examples above are just a small selection of what is achievable, it's also possible to evolve any number of new patina's using these as starting points and I can also use any combination of these examples upon a single form.
Digital Visualistions
I recognise the power and versatility of digital visualisations in the world of art. This technology allows me to create stunning photo-realistic 3-dimensional reproductions of my sculptures. By combining these digital replicas with immersive environments such as virtual gallery spaces or digital photography studios, I can produce captivating images and films that effectively illustrate the essence and beauty of my sculpture.
With the advent of advanced digital tools, artists can now bring their creations to life in ways that were previously unimaginable. Through meticulous detailing and rendering techniques, digital visualizations can capture every intricate facet of a sculpture, making it indistinguishable from the physical piece itself. This incredible level of accuracy and fidelity allows viewers to truly appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of the sculpture.
Furthermore, the integration of digital environments like virtual gallery spaces opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for presenting and showcasing sculptures. Through virtual gallery spaces, my sculptures can be exhibited in an immersive and interactive manner, allowing viewers to explore and experience them from the comfort of their homes. This provides an unparalleled level of accessibility and convenience, ensuring that art lovers from all around the world can engage with my sculptures.
