Original artwork description:

This wallpiece came from a sketch that's been waiting several years to be realized. Though I have been focused on my curved, chitinous forms in wallpieces lately, I still have many designs I want to make in our original style, assembled from fabricated brass boxes.

Like most of my wallpieces, this one can be mounted horizontally as well as vertically, and it is designed to look good that way, or vertically with either end up. I usually prefer it blunt-end up, but many viewers prefer it the other way. The choice is up to you.

The wallpiece is built from many thin-walled brass boxes folded from sheet, brazed at their corners, and patinaed with traditional sculptural patinas while heating the metal with a torch. The piece only weighs about 20 pounds and can be hung on any wall. You can use ordinary drywall anchors for normal walls. I can also provide special clips which make for a more secure installation.

Please note that international buyers will be responsible for VAT if applicable.
