Copper wall panel with gold and enamel details
Created for Collect 2025, ‘Sea of Stories’ is a wall panel which invites closer attention, filled with the mysteries and stories of the oceans - or what we choose to see within it.
Typical of Gegenwart's work, the piece explores the themes of rhythms and water - recurring motifs within her work - with her unique treatment of the copper giving it a particular tone, depth and interest.
Additional complexity is added to the work by the choice of a white mount - drawing out the reflections of the lattice work to give the piece a 3 dimensional quality and provoke a tactile, as well as a visual, exploration of the work.
For the close observer, words are etched within the panel to emphasise the language of the piece, the darkness of the work countered by the light enamel details.
The colour of the mounting board can be changed to create different effects and interpretations of the work, but it is shown here in white as it was at Collect 2025.
