Addition to the Metopia series


For the latest metal piece, I thought I'd try some galvanized steel flashing I had in my shop. It's quite thin and I had to strengthen one of the edges with some heavier material which is actually more expensive than aluminum sheet, which surprised me. The finished work is 40" x 10.5" x 1.75" and again, weighs just a pound or two - haven't really checked. This last is one of the appealing aspects of this sheet metal work: they look quite substantial, but will hang on any small nail without trouble, and they
are easy to transport and ship - unlike the stones.
