Several artworks themselves were also made out of metal or metal-like materials, which further informed my instinct to proceed in this direction. Working with Automatic Arts, we looked at a couple of different finishing options and selected the patina for its weathered, time-worn look, which appropriately conveyed the seriousness and history behind the works in this collection.
