01
Raising the stream bed
Detail achieved by hand chasing and raising, shown before and after patination.
Sculpture shaped by hand
Metalwork with
a life of its own.
One-of-a-kind sculptures in copper, aluminium and gold leaf, made slowly by Roger and transformed by fire, chemistry and thousands of hammer strikes.
The making
Every mark matters.
Each sculpture is totally unique and made from copper, aluminium and gold leaf. Backgrounds are created using various methods and materials—from ammonia, vinegar and salt to even a splash of soy sauce.
Each scale is a single strike of the hammer, sometimes numbering in the thousands. It is a lengthy, deliberate process, so only a limited number of artworks are made each year.
At the workbench
Surface becomes
landscape.
A glimpse of the work beneath the finished piece: copper shaped by hand, then transformed through heat and patination.
02
Colouring the landscape
Close-up details of patination, with landscape created through flame colouring and copper toning.
Selected work
From river
to metal.
No moulds. No two pieces alike. Each work holds the colour, texture and small irregularities that come from making entirely by hand.
Pricing & commissions
Made for a place,
and for a person.
