Patinas

Continual exploration is key to our creative practice. We thrive on constant material experimentation, and look to both modern and ancient techniques to expand our craft in metal working.
Our backgrounds in visual arts have inspired our research into oxidation and patinas as distinct surface treatments. The patina process uses metal as a canvas to accelerate the natural oxidation of the material. The results capture the fluid and ephemeral transformation of the material surface, creating organic living finishes remniscent of color field paintings.
