The purpose or this thesis is to relate to others my experimentation of various types of metals, and the methods employed to decorate the surfaces of these particular metals. The differences, and similarities in means of working with and decorating each type of metal used is also discussed.

Techniques which I used, and the various means …

Two Sculptural Fabrications That Utilize Tension, David Robert Olson

The problem chosen is one which utilizes the fabrication of parts to be constructed into a unified sculptural whole.

I say blindly, because I want to reach beyond what I know. I may learn it at a later time, but when I paint it, it …
