After I made a number of the Glyph document pieces based on the bark beetle outlines, I conceived the idea of the Glyphs as larger metallic objects. I imagined the kind of ceremonial artifacts which might have been carried symbolically in a procession. I enlarged the outlines of the beetle galleries onto plywood which I cut out and then covered with multiple layers of patinated copper leaf. The sculptures are flat and designed to float about an inch or two away from the wall.
