BOWIE IN GOLD (One-Off)

Zoe Chapman creates portraits using a highly refined wire and pin technique - a contemporary reworking of traditional Filografi. Built entirely by hand, each work balances precision and tension, transforming line into form through hundreds of carefully placed fixings. The image shifts with light and movement, revealing depth, shadow and presence beyond a traditional drawing.

Material: Created using 0.35mm Black Enamelled Copper Wire attached to thousands of small nails on gold board.
Size: 90 x 60cm
