| Reverse-S Design in brushed aluminum on 1/2" thick furniture-grade wood, 48" x 102" x 5", weight 23 lbs., with blackened edges for added dramatic effect. |

| "Reverse S", by award-winning sculptor, John
Searles, is a wall sculpture made up of 11 squares and 12 circles, each
one cut from inside of its next larger shape and assembled to create a
stunning and dynamic statement.
This eye-catching art piece is made from two sheets of 1/16" brushed aluminum bonded to 1/2" furniture-grade wood. After spirals of metallic resin were applied to the two surfaces, the shapes were cut out using inside cuts, sanded, filed and finished with primer, then edge blacking for dramatic effect. The aluminum surface was then protected with several coats of Renaissance Wax, a wax developed by the British Museum of Art. The 23 shapes were then painstakingly assembled (using glues and screws) with the smaller pieces making a smaller reverse-s inside of the reverse-s created by the larger pieces. Reverse-S represents how the totality of life is made up of many complementary parts which synergistically work together to create a sum much greater than each of the individual parts. |
