My two copper pots

‘My two copper pots’ This small sculpture comprises of two soldered forms constructed from 0.5 copper sheet. The whole work depends on the relationship between the forms, how closely they are positioned, the angle of the forms and the space in between. Natural light, changing throughout the day, creates shadows and reflections of the copper from one side to the other. The top part of the forms is delineated by copper strip sections in contrast with the sides, space can be seen through and beyond and the other space is hidden. How the curved shaped sides of the sculpture touch the ground/base imply a sense of suspended movement and there by also stillness. The sculpture title is derived from a little white sugar pot that a friend gave me years ago which I have always loved, and it always reminds me of that friendship.
