1994
Based on the "Copper" of the Northwest Coast Native People. Sheets of shaped copper
are coated with lead, and incised with designs, developing a patina of age.
​
This work was created, by the artist, using asian papers, coated with layers of asian ink,
copper leaf, ground asian mineral pigments, ground carbon, and copper pigments.
The artist has intentionally stored the work for over 25 years. 
Have the works changed? It seems so when they are removed from their wrappings.
It is very subtle.
