The depth of its component blocks, some with sloped faces, creates a visually massive composition, leavened by the bright colors, the organic feel of the patinas, and the flow felt from box to box as your eye tours the piece. This piece can be hung in any orientation, and may be hung outdoors in a sheltered location.
David and Reed Bowman are a father and son studio, with over sixty years design experience creating works at all scales in patinaed brass and copper. Most of the wallpieces are constructed of brass sheet folded into boxes and colored using traditional and modern sculptural patinas.
Their design aesthetic combines the philosophies of wabi-sabi and minimalism to create works that cannot be created using more modern techniques or more industrial scale tools. Taking inspiration from sculpture, architecture, painting, and even armory of all periods, they create unique designs, which they fabricate entirely in-house, with nothing farmed out, and using only hand-tools and simple machines.
