Tight Rope Hands (Bronze & Corten Steel)

The journey from modelling to completion for each sculpture is a lengthy and meticulous process. Lorenzo Quinn begins by sculpting the model in clay or wax to be coated in plaster, ensuring to etch all the details at this stage. Once the plaster has been removed, the finer details are then added, making each limited edition sculpture inherently unique. Layer by layer, the model is coated with liquid ceramic and sand until dry, ready for the molten metal to be poured inside. After breaking the ceramic away from the sculpture, the wielding and colouring can then be added, finalising the piece.

The creative journey for each piece begins with a poem before the any of the sculpting commences.  

Poem: Life is like a tightrope, walking it is made easier if you have someone to help you cross.

Each piece is hand-made to order, direct from Lorenzo's foundry, and is constructed from bronze and stainless steel. Our usual delivery times to not apply for this sculpture, if you'd like more information please get in touch.
