process
Most of my sculptures are made from resin into which bronze, iron or stone powder have been suspended. These powders are incredibly fine and the results are often indestinguishable from the original material. The bronzes are then patinated in the same way as a foundry cast bronze. The patination process reacts with only the very top surface of the sculpture, making the mutable finish very fragile. Whilst the Resin itself is a strong material suitable for outdoors, the patination would need to be protected from the rigours of nature.
