Summer in the South

A clean, rectangular slab gives way to a heavy, dripping edge in this hand-formed copper wall sculpture—a paused event more than a static object, as if liquid metal might resume its slow descent at any moment. The artist shaped the melting form through thousands of hammer blows, torch-softening the metal between rounds, and finished the piece with a chemically bonded brown patina that will continue to evolve over decades. Ready to hang and signed on the back.
