This 100% solid copper sculpture combines calming Asian minimalism with hearty American abundance for a far-reaching presentation of the magnificent willow tree. Hundreds of bright patina-washed leaves sprout from dark branches that peek out from behind artfully placed groupings. The gentle-green and burnished-copper color complement each other, creating a captivating vibrancy that will hold true for a lifetime. Carefully crafted in rural North Carolina by artist Andy Brinkley.
Andy, a native of Virginia, has been working with metals for over three decades. Initially a blacksmith, he began to utilize various metals and has specialized in brass and copper for the past 30 years. Andy started working out of a small basement shop and today his studio is on a rural woodland nestled in North Carolina's Appalachian foothills. When he's not tending to his gardens or sculpting at his bench, Andy can be found at the controls of his antique Luscombe aircraft.
