Item Description

Copper and Steel Branch Sculpture with Nest of Steel, Feathers, Adventurine and Hand-Carved Unakite Eggs.

This beautiful sculpture is by local artist, Charles Perkins and is signed in wire.

“Our artwork reflects a true collaboration, one of heart and soul, body, mind and time, born of a desire to bring beauty, laughter, truth and love to others.”

We have been ‘partners’ creatively expressing ourselves; for the majority of our lives together, in one manner or another. We are self-taught and work from the inspiration found in everyday life.

Always have, always hope to.

Much of our work is made from recycled, re-purposed materials. Bohemians and scavengers at heart, we believe things often have another beauty - another life - after its original purpose is complete. And it is our job to find it.

The work itself is environmentally friendly. Often, it is accomplished ‘four-handed’. We don’t play with fire - no soldering, welding, or any of that. We simply bend the wire, move paint around, have amazing conversations, and create art using the most precious of energy, our own.

Most of our pieces tell stories, stories that manifest over time, and in layers. They evolve organically, and observers tend to have their own intuitive experience with the work.

Some people consider our art work as Modern. Contemporary. Folk. Mixing the media with a lot of memories..... it is indescribable. We are not quite sure how to categorize it ourselves. We do know for a fact that each piece finds exactly the right home, at precisely the right time.
