Making progress...

I've been working hard on creating prototypes of the metal cylinders which will be eventually hung in Barons Quay.  I've been working on how the cylinders achieve the layered compositon, with copper, brass and white brass etchings layered on top of one another.

The challenge is to keep the cylinders as light as possible, whilst being structurally sound and maintaining the high level of craftsmanship I always strive for.

 Contrasting metallic colours.

 I was excited to try etching textural salt deposit - like images on to the stainless steel cylinder.  It's really beautiful the way the shiny metal contrasts the etched matt grey image.
