20240420 - Veterans Sculpture - Tempe

The image is fully released - the model release is on file in Media Relations & Strategic Communications.

Visual artist John Tuomisto-Bell talks about the process of adding an oxidation patina to the iron casting, then burnishing it with various materials, on Saturday, April 20, 2024, at the School of Art’s warehouse. Half a dozen student veterans affiliated with the University are working on sculptures that began as soft clay and were then cast in resin-coated sand. Then, molten iron was poured into the form, resulting in 7-8 pound, 5-1/2 square pieces. Saturday’s final stage included staining a colored patina to the sculptures. They spent time with the propane torch and ferric solutions creating a patina on the large Tillman “Honor” logo. The process began by evenly heating the 30-pound iron sculpture to around 300 degrees. They added various oxidizing agents that infused colored pigment into the heated piece. The program is run by Bruce Ward, a veteran and ASU BFA alumnus working with the Pat Tillman Veterans Center and assisted by ASU art faculty. Photo by Charlie Leight/ASU News
