Description I can't take all the credit for this one, This piece was inspired by the Robots in Bjork's video, "All is full of love" It is all full of hand embossed tool work in thin Brass. I thought the robots would look good in RepoussΓ© and so I had to do it! I made the robots similar the originals but had to invent some parts to make them look complete. Repousse work is always hard to photograph, it always looks different depending on what kind of light its in and what direction the light is coming from. The Brass panel is 6" X 8 1/4" and is on Gold mat in a Gold frame.
I'm sorry that I'm unable to reply to all comments nowadays but I do appreciate them. Thank you for looking and for the kind comments!

great work. I love that video

Thank you! Bjork's stuff is always so inspiring to me!

I think the hands were the trickiest part, I'm not happy with them. It's hard to get through a repousse piece without making some kind of mistake! You can't erase or rebend the metal.

ooo can I get an image too!??? *puppy eyes* This is my absolute fav...when I get enough money (and if it's not already sold) I am so gonna want to buy this!!!!! *sigh* I'm broke though lol, and probably will be for a looong time.... Ah well!

Oh thank you! That is the greatest compliment! It's one of my favs too, I wish I could just keep all the brass works but I have to offer them for sale. I've been out of work for a long time and I'm so broke that I can't even pay attention! Honestly!
I don't sell the repousses very often so it will probably be here for a while.

foreignmind In reply to Vegvisir [2007-07-13 17:12:50 +0000 UTC]

Well, you could sell prints of your work instead. This way, everyone's happy- you get to keep your pieces, and everyone else can afford to buy the image! I know what you mean, I've been trying to find a job all summer, and I'm running out of places to apply! (seriously) I guess if all else fails we can go into fast food, right? Make little art projects out of french fries I suppose (Hey, it's a livin right?)

Vegvisir In reply to foreignmind [2007-07-16 13:09:49 +0000 UTC]

I'd love to have prints made but money is still the problem. I signed up for DA's print acct but then I realiezed they're only post card size and I'd have to sell a million to make any money at it.
Oh well, I think I may try the french fry art thing! At least I can eat the art if it don't sell. Good idea! ^_^

Hm, that sucks, but couldn't you upgrade to premium prints? Lolz, the one place that I do not want to work at (yet probably will) is fast food. Lol, yes...at least we wont starve! But we'll probably be fat...but we'll be happy and fat, which is better than being unhappy and underfed, right?

Wow, that's gorgeous. Again. I absolutely love your repousse work. You've inspired me to give it a try - when I can...

I haven't seen the video you've referenced, but they reminded me a lot of the robot in Fritz Lang's Metropolis... So maybe Bjork herself was inspired by someone too, eh? No harm in that!

Oh yes! The German movie from the 1920's or early 30's!
That was a great robot! the movie was ahead of its time,

rekanize In reply to Vegvisir [2005-11-26 17:06:13 +0000 UTC]

Agreed. I was going to say that the stylized background was very much in the vein of the film "Metropolis," which lends very well to the central image.

Thanks Thorn! I'm honored! If I can help you with anything, let me know, I found a good supplier for the brass, they don't sell retail but they probably have a distributor in your area, here is a link to their site [ [link] hope the link works, if not , let me know, You will need (Brass shim stock .005" thick) it comes in different sizes and in rolls. I usually heat it to soften it first, over a gas stove will do it just barely but try to get it red hot all over and let it cool and you're ready to start. It will be a bit buckled and uneven but once you start adding shapes to it, it will start to straighten out, you have to work it from both sides to keep it from curling up. You can actoally use hard lead pencils for tools but can make larger tools of wood or metal. Anyway, I'm glad you're inspired! Giv it a try! let me know if I can help. Thanks, Brent

lol yea, Thank you! I love old ancient repousse work and used to do just old fasioned style pieces but then along came Bjork and she inspired me, now I guess I do a mixture of modern influence in an ancient technic. Kind of a strange combination, LOL

Thanks, i heat the brass in fire to soften it, draw the disign on with pencil and i use wood and metal tools to bend each shape into the metal one at a time from both sides then treat with acid and then polished it, they take a while to do, but i love repousse!
