Hi Paul
What a beautiful piece!
I am a metal artist and usually work in steel but I've used it in a couple of outdoor applications and it failed due to rust (it was coloured with heat and sealed with an industrial clear coat). I certainly don't want to abandon working on outdoor pieces (and I'm not interested in powder coating finishes) so I am searching for new material and processes. I have abandoned the heat colouring due to its instability. I've moved on to patinas and dyes.
I wondered what materials (metals and coatings) you have used in "Uncertainty"
