Breakthrough moment!

A breakthrough moment with a prototype metal cylinder hanging for the first time! 

Designing the etched metal cylinder surfaces

For the past couple of months, I've been using the artwork produced in the school workshops, combined with some mono-prints and salt related imagery of my own, to produce the artwork that will eventually be etched on to the surface of the metal cylinders.

Much of the design work is done on the computer, by manipulating, resizing and layering images which will produce different qualities of texture when etched in to the different metals; copper, brass, white brass and stainless steel.
