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:
In Spectacles of the Swamp, a scholarly frog peers thoughtfully from the wetlands, perched between curiosity and contemplation. Rendered in hand-worked copper and layered patina, the piece blends whimsy with wisdom—inviting viewers to see the natural world through a lens of quiet intelligence and humor.
The frog’s oversized spectacles suggest reflection, learning, and perspective, while the soft corrosion of blues and greens echoes the slow passage of time in a marshland untouched by urgency. A delicate dragonfly hovers nearby, a fleeting moment frozen against the permanence of metal—nature’s poetry preserved in copper.
