The sunset surfer
Stainless steel with heat patinated stainless steel
H 138 x W 100 x D 125 Frame on ground
Spikes provided.
The sunset surfer is hand fabricated from stainless steel. To make the sinuous wave shape more interesting, it is heavily textured with grooves and scuffs and then heat patinated. The heat patination process creates metallic oxides on the surface of the metal. Stainless steel, like iron, creates several oxides, where it combines with increasing numbers of oxygen atoms, to give straw, magenta, blue and red colours. These colours occur because the oxide thickness is the same as the light wavelength of the particular spectrum colour.
This colouration is permanent and can survive outdoors but DO NOT RUB OR USE ANY CLEANING agents as it is only a molecule thick. The deep grooving makes different thicknesses in the metal which encourages the temperature differences to get the variety of colours.
