(ATLANTA :: 18 Dec. 2009) - Kimber
Herndon, our copper artist extraordinaire, has taken
two of my photographs and turned them into unearthed
treasure.
“HRH” is a shot of my treasured pup Triscuit as she sat in the morning sun one day. I was working on something else, and she jumped into the line of the rising sun on the living room chair, on her own - which, actually, should surprise no one given her predilection for attention.
The resulting “HRH” collaboration is a sculpted and carved copper piece, mounted on thin-wood panel, vertical in orientation and very light to hang on the wall. The photo itself is incorporated into the piece and has been fastened to the wood. “HRH” is offered at $200.
And “Moments that
Matter” comes to ARTvision by
way of the wedding of Bill Brennan and Jim Verraros -
an event I attended and shot with my D80.
Lots of great images came out of that event, this one included. Kimber took inspiration from the photo to create this large, imposing piece - which is the interpreted photo painted on canvas mounted on perforated steel.
I got inspiration from the name of the photo from Corbin Bleu’s song of the same name. Jim & Bill’s embrace before their nuptials was a precursor, “backstage” look at the beautiful event that followed.
“HRH” is offered for a donation of $200. “Moments that Matter” is 30” x 30” steel with slotted edging and is offered for a donation of $595.
(4 December 2009 ::
ATLANTA) - In a year marked by collaboration for
ARTvision 4, I’m pleased to announce the first of a
number of pieces that are artist collaborations -
custom, one-of-a-kind designs specifically created
to raise money for Positive Impact.
Kimber Herndon, co-owner of ARTvision sponsor Florapolitan, has interpreted one of my photos, “Passion Flower,” in a unique wood framed-copper piece that adds texture and depth to an existing image taken just outside of Santa Barbara, Calif.
This piece is made up of
the “Passion Flower” photo (pictured, top),
adhered to a sheet of copper washed with olive-green
paint and shaped and carved to depict an extended
bloom of the agave plant.
Kimber is also set to debut another photo interpretation of “Embrace,” a photo I took at Bill Brennan & Jim Verraros’ wedding. More on that soon.
“Passion Flower” is offered to ARTvision buyers/Positive Impact donors for $500. - WP
