Archeological Find Pyhole Sculpture

This is a unique sculpture part of a small collection called Archeological Finds. Lourdes Torgersen finds inspiration in architecture and geometry, creating cast bronze sculptures that rely heavily on their shape, which is often that of a cylinder, pyramidal, or cube. Part of a new series of bronze sculptures that are often displayed as a group, in 2017 Houston-based sculptor Lourdes Torgersen starts working with bronze. First, a model of the sculpture is designed in wax. A refractory mold material that can withstand extremely high temperatures then encases the wax model. After the molds are dried for weeks. Later, hot steam is used to melt the wax, leaving behind an empty cavity in the shape of the artwork. The mold is placed in a furnace to warm up while the bronze is being melted. When the bronze is ready, molds are placed on a stable surface and bronze is poured inside them. After the pieces cool down to room temperature the outside shell (mold) is then broken off, revealing the bronze inside. A long sandblasting and polishing process starts until the sculpture looks the way Lourdes Torgersen wishes. After that, patinas are added to achieve the perfect look. Each individual sculpture adds to a collective when displayed as groups, although they are available separately. Adding one or all 4, Lourdes Torgersen’s 3D contemporary art sculptures are creative one-of-a-kind pieces that will add culture to your home.
