This is part of my porthole series, where I create colors and patterns on metal using different chemicals. In a sense, painting with chemical reactions.

The ring is made of Wenge and accented with Padauk; the disc is steel patinated with various chemical reactions and sealed in with a clear satin coat.

The sculpture hangs on a small wooden Fremch cleat.

21″ Tall

16 1/2″ Wide
