Aluminum Wall Sculpture - Open Metal Art Designs
These are some more of my recent designs in aluminum. Basically they are all puzzle pieces. I start with one large shape and cut out all the other smaller shapes from the inside of the large one, then reassemble them in a more pleasing-to-the-eye fashion.

| Reverse-S Design 48"x102"x5" Brushed Aluminum (also available in copper) |
Nine Rectangles 49" x 55" x 4" Brushed Aluminum |
I sometimes use 1/16" thick aluminum bonded to a 1/2" furniture grade wood for these designs, which significantly keeps the weight down and makes them easier to handle and install as well as safer for in-home display. The large Reverse-S design weighs only 23 lbs, though it feels much heavier when you lift it, due to its size and bulk.

| Rotating Triangles 55"x55"x55"x8" |
These designs are also made in solid 1/4" aluminum or stainless steel for external display. A Rotating Triangle made with 1/4" aluminum weighs 40 lbs.

I have more designs that I am working on, and will post them as time allows. Basically, any design that can be done in copper can also be done in aluminum or stainless steel.
