All the gates in this gallery were commissioned works.I generally communicate with clients about designs with sketches.Through the process of communication we narrow down the design. I design as well as fabricate which streamlines the fabrication process.
This Gate was influenced by the turn-of-the-century Art Nouveau designs of Hector Guimard and Victor Horta. It is entirely forged steel and all the pieces are hammered "on the diamond" presenting a more three dimensional effect than regular flat forging. It has been powder coated. The numbers on the right column are individually forged from steel as well,powder coated,then installed with a backing plate of patinated bronze. |
