Metal Art Weaving Wall Sculptures - 4 Galleries
I find the
textural and design qualities of metal art weaving to be fascinating with
ever-expanding possibilities.
I think of my metal weavings as being very architectural in the sense that they are designed to enhance the quality of the living experience without imposing a message or point of view.
Woven metal wall sculptures are
intended to be timeless, as the sky and water are timeless. The are intended to
relax and uplift the viewer, just as rippling water calms and beguiles the
senses, or as the colors and patterns in the sky as the sun sets uplift and
soothe the psyche.

My metal weavings include tightly woven wavy strips,
circle spiral copper weavings, open metal weavings with both straight and wavy
strips and with both copper and aluminum, straight patinated copper strips woven
with wire to simulate waterfalls, and unusual triangular metal weavings.

My metal weavings are generally less than 20 lbs, though I have created some large 50-pounders with woven copper. They are brazed on the back and occasionally on the front. They are usually mounted on a copper pipe frame, from which it is easy to attach D-rings or picture wire. The patinas are natural (not painted), fade-resistant, permanent and sealed with either polyurethane or acrylic lacquer. Both of these coatings do very well outside, with sun, rain and snow.
