Original artwork description
The first glimmer of metallic discovery in the undergrowth!
The inspiration for this piece was a visit to view "The Staffordshire Hoard", (the largest Anglo-Saxon treasure ever found), on display at Sutton Hoo.
Looking at the artifacts and reading the account of their discovery I had a tingling sense of what it must have felt like at the time of their unearthing.
So for this piece I have created a filigree of metallic emerging from the undergrowth through its centre!
Moulded multi-coloured polymer clay discs with white, gold and bronze accrylic highlighting, and some details picked out with gold and silver high gloss liquid chromium.
The discs are arranged from light to dark diagonally with a metallic band running through the centre.
I used siligum to take moulds of various plants and then used the moulds to add texture to the polymer clay.
Each disc was cut from the moulded clay and once fired mounted on a tiny foam board plinth to raise them.
They are arranged in a slightly haphazard square in the centre of a white card backing.
The whole piece is framed in a deep white box frame which is glazed with Perspex.
Materials used:
Moulded coloured polymer clay on foam board on card in a box frame glazed with Perspex
Details:
- Relief on Paper on board
- One of a kind artwork
- Size: 52 x 52 x 6cm (framed) / 48.6 x 48.6cm (actual image size)
