COPPER COSMOS
COPPER COSMOS
Copper Cosmos is a collection of copper artworks exploded with gunpowder leaving imprinted designs
that reflect the story of this most impressive of elements.
Copper is an essential trace element for human life and life on Earth. Copper is used in so many ways. Michael Faraday discovered that an electric current could be produced by passing a magnet through a copper wire. Almost all the electricity we use today is still made with magnets and coils of copper wire in giant power plants. The stunning blue and turquoise salt derivatives of oxidised copper have been used widely in pigment. For Aoife van Linden Tol it represents a link between the Earth, the Moon and the cosmos as a whole. It reflects on the natural beauty of the metals permeating the universe.
This work is an ode to her cosmic love of copper.
The collection includes an edition of 10 miniature 1x1cm copper cubes.
One of which will travel to the ISS, one of which will travel to the Moon,
one which belongs to the Moon Gallery Earth based collection.
Seven will be available for collectors in spring 2022.
The collection also includes charcoal powder drawings, explosive drawings on copper sheet and a series of NFT's
which will be launched in partnership with the Moon Gallery.
