This is my rendition of Gian Lorenzo Bernini's sculpture "Daniel and the Lion".
I captured the image online, altered the image in order to make a stencil then had that sent to be cut into vinyl.
I gave the copperplate a base patina, then stuck the vinyl sticker on which exposed areas.
Next I built up clay walls which turned the copperplate into a bowl, allowing me to pour a patina solution into. The solution ate away at the vinyl which resulted in organic disrupted lines - abstracting
