A clean, rectangular slab gives way to a heavy dripping edge in this hand formed copper wall sculpture. The artwork feels more like a paused event than a static object, capturing the slow, heavy pull of liquid metal in mid-motion. There is a sense of weight and movement to the piece, as if it could continue to drip down the wall at any moment. With its rich copper tone and flowing sculptural form, this unconventional piece fits well with modern decor, softening a room's hard lines and geometry.
MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION
This sculpture was formed from copper sheet metal using handheld hammers, punches and air-powered tools. The melting lower edge was shaped gradually from flat sheet into a three dimensional form by thousands of hammer blows, softening the metal with a torch between rounds. The hammer strikes that stretched the metal into shape are visible across the surface, leaving a textured pattern of the forming process.
After the dripping edge was formed, the top and sides of the sheet were bent over and welded at the corners to create a copper shell that looks like a thick, solid slab of metal. Inside the shell is a backing support made of wood and urethane, which provides additional structure and a place to attach the hanger.
The sculpture is for indoor display only, as the internal wood frame is not suitable for outdoor use or excess moisture.
FINISH AND PATINA
The brown patina was developed through a chemical process that speeds up the natural oxidation of copper. The color is a thin, stable layer on the surface that is chemically bonded to the metal and will continue to slowly evolve over years and decades.
The sculpture is sealed with Renaissance Wax, a museum-grade wax developed by the British Museum for preservation. It provides a protective barrier that slows further oxidation. Unlike synthetic clear coats, the wax does not yellow, crack or permanently alter the copper.
DIMENSIONS AND HANGING
This sculpture measures 27⅜ inches wide, 20¼ inches tall from the top edge to the bottom of the drip, and 1½ inches deep. It weighs 15 pounds and hangs flush against the wall on a french cleat style hanger.
