electroformed copper
silvered

dimensions: 30 x 20 cm




Experiment
To test how precise the electroforming process can copy fragile objects we decided to copy an arrangement of butterfly wings from the 60s.
Test was very successful and, on some spots, even the structure of pigments of the wings is visible.
