AeroKinetic Sculptures are designed to rotate silently in even a gentle breeze. Each design creates a different enchanting motion when turning. When you combine several in your garden they interact in mesmerizing ways.
While I personally build each sculpture by hand in my studio, I typically build a series of sculptures based on each design. Each is an "original", exhibiting variations in construction and finish similar to how multiple bronze castings, hand finished by the artist, are considered "originals". This approach enables me to produce outstanding wind sculptures at affordable prices versus what I would have to charge if there were only one specimen produced of each design.
All AeroKinetic Sculptures are made from high quality copper with your choice of finishes:
- Natural Finish - Naturally tarnishes and develops its own patina with age. Blends into its natural surroundings. Uncoated copper will typically turn a beautiful dark copper brown color after several weeks of exposure to the weather. While a natural verdigris patina will develop eventually, this can take many years.
- Clearcoat Finish - Coated with a protective clear finish to extend the bright copper look, typically for several years. I use All-Shield® from Dever Enterprises - the best clear coat finish I have found on the market.
- Chemical Patina - A colored patina is applied and is sealed with a clear finish. Patina choices include the traditional blue/green acid patina, as well as non-acid patinas in many colors - red, green, yellow, blue, purple and orange patinas are in stock, other colors available by request.
