"Corrosive Magic" - A Captivating Dance of Decay and Luminosity
Part of the Earth and Light collection, Corrosive Magic explores the beauty found in transformation and the passage of time. The textured background features a subtle checkered pattern in soft neutral tones— white, cream, and raw sienna-creating a foundation of quiet balance.
Large sculpted squares of oxidized copper leaf emerge from the surface in a striking three-dimensional
composition, each uniquely affected by chemical reactions. Crackling, spotting, and organic variations in black, brown, copper, and gold unfold across the metal's surface, telling a story of nature's unpredictable artistry. Scattered pops of radiant gold leaf catch the light, offering moments of brilliance against the raw, weathered elements. This piece invites the viewer to appreciate imperfection, change, and the alchemy of materials as they evolve over time.
