Steve’s interest in enamel started with jewellery designs, but he soon began to take the more unusual and demanding route of creating ambitious larger scale contemporary pieces of art for the wall.
His work falls into two categories – abstract sea and sky inspired landscapes based on his Cornish surroundings and, contrastingly, the complex geometric images that come from within, often influenced by the music he’s listening to.
Starting with a copper panel as a blank canvas, he mixes enamel resin powders to create unique colours and, either using hand-made guides or working freehand, he sifts the powders onto the copper – element by element, layer by layer – before repeatedly firing. Using a hand-held butane torch, rather than a kiln, retains greater control over the firing process to craft the image to his design.
Honing and developing techniques to achieve his vision is the challenge that constantly drives him forward.
