Three delicate miniature bags are in the shape of generic bags.
Copper has been manipulated and coated with vitreous enamel colours. Black cupric oxide, formed on the copper during kiln firing, enlivens their appearance.
The bags are constructed from thin copper to resemble paper. Arranged on a lightweight wooden shelf, they are permanently fixed for protection.
Do not squeeze the bags of thin copper and vitreous enamel ie form of glass, which is a durable surface and may be wiped.

Three Bag Shelf | 2019 Sculptor Bio
Sally Aplin
In the early 1970's I studied oil painting. Next I was drawn to possibilities of vitreous enamelling on copper for creating assemblages. This led me to pursue sculpture during study for a fine art degree in Bristol and was followed by creating installations for a masters degree at University of Wales, Cardiff. Drawing has been my constant medium throughout, including in enamel. I taught at art school in Bristol for many years and continue to teach here in Sydney.
I was born in Surrey, UK in 1939, travelling overland to Australia in 1961. I finally settled in Bristol with my husband in 1966, had 2 children and studied at Art School in Bristol and Cardiff. I love teaching and taught at School of Art in Bristol until returning to Australia, my husband's home in 2001. I have a large studio under my house containing several enamelling kilns and a vast collection of vitreous enamel colours.
