Medium: Cut Copper andCopper electroformed face on solid cold cast bronze and natural feathers. Electroforming is a process similar to electroplating, except it is much thicker, since electroforming takes many hours to achieve a desired thickness compared to plating. After the many steps in producing a mold from the clay, it is then cast in cold cast bronze. The next step is to submerge to piece in an acid based solution and electrical currents to transfer copper ions onto the surface for several hours to the desired thickness. The piece is then polished and sometimes acid patinas are applied. Natural featheres are attached as well as the rest of the hand cut copper and necklace.
