Searles Art

This eye-catching art piece is made from a single sheet of copper onto which intersecting lines of brass are melted. The patina on the copper is slowly and painstakingly developed using an oxy-acetylene torch and various chemical agents. When a unique and beautiful patina is achieved, it is protected with several coatings of Renaissance Wax, a durable and attractive finish. The prepared copper is pounded flat and bonded to a sheet of furniture grade birch. The triangles are carefully cut, one from inside the other, the edges are finished, then all the pieces are carefully assembled, one on top of the other.

Also available in aluminum and stainless steel, as well as copper bonded to aluminum for exterior display, “Rotating Triangles” represents how the totality of life is made up of many complementary parts which combine to create a spiraling outward energy and movement.

“Rotating Triangles” is 55.5” on a side by 8” deep and weighs 20 lbs. Larger and smaller and thicker and thinner sizes are available on request. Commission orders usually take 6-8 weeks to complete.
