Karen Pierce- Makes all of her pieces by hand, using sheets of metal, hammers, steel forming stakes, a jeweler’s saw, a torch, files, sanding/polishing equipment, and a variety of other tools. To finish the pieces she uses various patina techniques and often applies gold-leaf or use silver or gold electroplating for contrast with the dark-patinated copper surfaces. Her metalwork is focused on vessels, which are generally semi-functional decorative vessels that reflect the artists architecturally influenced appreciation for clean lines and spare design.
Good condition.
