A unique metalwork creation inspired by the Cornish coast made by Sharon McSwiney in St Ives, Cornwall.
Individual small metal 'tiles' are adorned with seaweed & sea creatures in copper & brass. This picture features a little mermaids purse & starfish. The pieces have been etched which creates the surface details. Also embossing is utilised to make the raised 'bubbles'. The pieces are individually silver soldered onto the brass back plates to contrast the colours. Flux and heat create the interesting colour variations & acrylic the verdigris effects. The piece has been lacquered to highlight the colours & protect the surface.
The metalwork is mounted into an open deep 'tray'style frame which can be freestanding or wall mounted.
SIZE: The frame is approx 27cm x 27cm & 3.5cm deep. The metal background pieces measure approx 5cm x 5cm cm. The piece is signed & dated on the reverse & initialed on the front.
