The original design for Perpetual Motion.
I made this drawing a long time ago.

Chased "Lavradinho" plate
Date: 2008
Materials: Copper and Patine
This
was my
first
work in
"Lavradinho", a
very
complex
and
difficult
style
to
do.
I wish I had had the time to develop the "lavradinho" technique with my master Armando Sequeira, an expert in this field.

Renaissance Vase
Date: 2007/2008
Materials: Brass
Flower Vase
Date: 2007
Materials: Brass
My first
chased
brass vase, which I
never got
to
finish. Giger's "Portrait
of Barbara M. II" was taking longer
than
I
expected and
I didn't have much time
for this
work as the
end
of the
second
year
was
approaching.
I was
also
a
bit
tired
of
chasing
vegetative
motifs.
But someday I will finish it!

Fallen Autumn Leaf
Materials: Copper and Patine.
This was my first
work in the second year of the chasing workshop.
I was asked to make a leaf on a copper sheet, so we went on a visit to the gardens of Crystal Palace, where we collected, photographed and drew leaves. I chose this one because it was different from any other and yet beautiful and interesting. Also, I didn't want to repeat the same kind of leaves my colleagues would probably choose. Later I regretted it because it became increasingly difficult to do. The leaf was curled up like a shell, making its three-dimensionality hard to execute.

Starry Flower Variations
Date: 2005
Materials: Brass
Here are the three works which followed Perpetual Motion, made in the Repoussé/chasing workshop, with a floral theme in mind.
I never got to patine and frame them as they were done mostly to practise the chasing technique. I must do it someday.
