Stomp - Copper




















Robert Rauschenberg have transferred images on to a sheet of copper, however these images were flat and only existed on the 2 dimensional surfaces. A door is something that requires touch, it is a dynamic experience that requires one to reach out, to feel and interact.

Above pictures are the results of placing objects beneath the copper panel and transferring the form and shape directly to the surface of the panel by stomping. This technique allows me to transfer 3 dimensional objects on to the surface of the panel and embed the form of the object into the copper. When I flipped the panel, I was amazed by the beautiful marks that were imprinted on the back side of the copper panel. I have captured the positive and negative’s of the objects that was once beneath the copper panel.
