Harmony Ridge #29, by Robert Lawrance Lobe, 1990, anodized aluminum, Honolulu Museum of Art
Harmony Ridge #29, in the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art, is typical of the depictions of rocks and trees in heat-treated, hammered aluminum for which he is best known. He employs an adaptation of repoussé and chasing, in which he encases trees and rocks in sheets of aluminum. Employing hand-held and pneumatic hammers, he beats the aluminum until it assumes the shape of the wood or rock.[1]
