Cherie Haney “Playful Spirals, 2012” 3 Dimensional Lasercut Wall Tile

Design Plus Gallery presents “Playful Spirals, 2012” Metal Abstract by Cherie Haney. This 3 dimensional layered wall tile is cut from stainless steel using a plasma or hydro-abrasive cutter. The design is influenced by the modernist visions of the 1940s and artists such as Mies van der Rohe, Maria Pergay. Condition is good.

“My work draws from the balance of opposing forces coming together to form a harmonious whole.I draw original patterns and then digitize them so I can use a hydro-abrasive cutter to intricately cut each image into metal. The metal is then surfaced by hand for a satin reflective sheen and/or patinated with acids to create unique colors and textural enhancements. Various elements are then layered and spaced apart using hardware or welding techniques. Each work has two to four layers. The surface of each layer is developed to create contrast and set it apart from the next layer, while remaining aesthetically united. I use elements such as copper, leather, and other media in the background surfaces to achieve this effect.
