Original artwork description:

'Formations IV is a mixed-media work inspired by Joyce's interest in experimenting with different materials to create forms and designs. The idea is to give the viewer a deeper experience through the various intricacies achieved when using a variety of materials and finishes.

This work has been created using crafted forms of aluminum together with Gesso and steel wire to slowly build up solid (firm) layers. Once dry, this piece (a bit different from earlier ones in the series) has been painted in layers of gold, red oxide, quinacridone magenta, greenish blue and warm white mixed to accentuate areas of interest. The final result is a light warm grey taupe finish with areas of the underpainting peeking through the formations to accentuate the work's three-dimensional nature. The depth of the artwork is 2 inches (0.8 + 1.2 inch at the thickest part of the mixed media formation) The work is signed on the bottom edge.
This piece works beautifully on its own or as part of a set with Formation V - see the image.

This work is ready to hang with a wire attached and is signed on the bottom edge. It works beautifully on a light or a dark wall. It will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
