David Robinson: Diver Inverse, 2010
composite bronze and concrete, 24′ x 5′ x 5′
Highlights
A public art sculpture was covered in dirt, guano and biological growth with corrosion bleeding onto the stone plinth. Our conservator cleaned the sculpture using wet cleaning, corrosion removal solutions and mechanical cleaning, and reduced staining on the plinth with a prepared poultice. Areas of the composite bronze were re-patinated locally, and the sculpture received a coating of protective wax.
