so after a 4 hour drive in a very cramped car with three large gilded panels and a couple of 2m long gilded mirrors I arrived in Birmingham to deliver and hang my precious cargo. It couldn't have been more humid...just what you want when you are up a ladder trying to hang large, heavy and fragile things onto mystery substrates, but they are all still hanging solidly and beautifully so it's a win.
Jenni was really excited to finally meet the pieces I'd made for her. I sent regular photos to show their progress, but didn't send final shots because I didn't want to spoil the surprise.
As is so often the case it proved really hard to get good shots of them because of the lighting and reflections so I have my fingers crossed that the lovely photographer from the Birmingham Mail has worked some magic with his enormous camera.
Sculptural Gilding Artist using gold leaf, verre eglomise, polished plaster to create textured and patinated surfaces and sculptures. Themes come from the natural world especially inspired by crystaline formation and geological formations.
Thank you once again for your wonderful work Emily! The Mail photographer took a boatload of images, so fingers crossed the one or two used will capture the backdrop for you.
ReplyDeleteHi Jenni,it was lovely to see your fine work up close. I like the fabric draped around the shop to divide it - very clever and atmospheric.
ReplyDeleteDid the paper give you any idea when the story will run? I had a quick look on their website earlier.
