Hand embossing and debossing are processes used to create raised (embossed) or recessed (debossed) designs on sheet metals - Copper, Bronze or Steel, adding texture, depth, and visual appeal. These artistic techniques are commonly employed in decorative applications to create both beautiful and interesting framed sculptures.
Description:
Held in Stillness
This copper repoussé portrait explores presence through restraint. The figure’s face is partially obscured, shifting focus from identity to posture, texture, and form. The broad brim creates a deliberate boundary between what is seen and what is withheld, inviting the viewer to engage with attitude rather than expression.
Worked in copper, the surface records every mark of the process—hammered impressions, softened edges, and evolving patina—mirroring the accumulation of lived experience. Strength is conveyed not through gesture, but through stillness and composure. The figure stands self-possessed, grounded, and unapologetically calm.
