Working with Bronze
Brett uses bronze as his material of choice because of:
- its recognition as a noble metal,
- its longevity,
- its ability to withstand the elements outdoors,
- the structural properties it possesses, and
- the extensive repertoire of patina colors that
complement the form and enhance the descriptive nature of each sculpture.
