This update is a bit late, but I had moved the flower pots on Wednesday, on time. Very happy with the way it is changing and look forward to seeing the end product.
I am now thinking about how to present these. I want them to be in one art piece and the other bits of copper I have, will be as one as well.
Presentation ideas..
- I like the copper being on a black background, I think it makes the colours of the copper really stand out.
- In a shop I saw two frames that used to be full length mirrors but the mirror had broken so there was the frame and backing left, I thought this might be quite a good way to present the copper. It’s long enough to fit all copper in and with spaces between them, which could be painted black.
- I had also had the idea to paint a wall black and attach the copper straight onto it. I do think this would need a large quantity of copper to cover it. I have decided to go against this as I want to have a variety of work and for it not to be repetitive.
I think I do prefer the idea of placing the copper in frames. I’m taking something that has been changed and destroyed by nature so placing it in a frame gives it a new context. It can be seen as art.
