Quiet Observance #299 SOLD

This is a detail shot of the lid for this vessel. The work itself is all copper and approximately 14.25" x 13.5" x 13.5". This work was a commission for a good friend of mine. I had made an earlier work that was similar and had a slight resemblance to myself quite unintentionally. They regretted not buying this earlier piece while it was still available and asked me to try making another which deliberately resembled me. While I wouldn't call this work a dead on likeness, it does a much better job. This is part of what I am after, gaining more skill and control with the material to create recognizable people and convey emotions effectively. This piece was used as an illustration in the book "Japanese Patinas" by Eitoku Sugimori published by Brynmorgen Press. This piece is SOLD.
