This transformation is deeply rooted in science. As the metals undergo oxidation from the heat, layers of oxide form, with each layer presenting a unique shade. The evolving hues are directed until a captivating spectrum is achieved. Once this is accomplished, the metal is promptly cooled, preserving its vivid display.

“In using fire, the process may seem random at first glance, but like much of my work, it's underpinned by scientific principles. Color, light, optics, reflection, and refraction have always been central themes in my creations.” – Paul Cocksedge.
