Porthole wall sculpture
This is part of my porthole series, where I create colors and patterns on metal using different chemicals. In a sense, painting with chemical reactions.
The ring is made of Wenge and accented with Paduk; the disc is steel patinated with various chemical reactions and sealed in with a clear satin coat.
The sculpture hangs on a small wooden Fremch cleat.
21″ Tall
16 1/2″ Wide
1 5/8″ Deep

very cool brian. i always learn something from watching your videos. the the tape trick is a great way to do that glue up. i also always wanted to try doing a patina on metal. i loved watching david marks do it, he did some real cool stuff.
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
Looks great!
Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
That is some very cool art!
Very nice combination of arts.

I like it. I'm going to have to watch the video more closely and give this a try. I'd much rather make wall decor like this than spend a fortune on nice stuff or have the wife buy cheap garbage to put on the wall.
