Description:
Ellamarie and Jackson Woolley worked directly with architectural
firms on individually commissioned projects. Their aim is total integration
of their designed and executed metal and enamel walls, panels, murals
or reliefs with the architecture. These works in textured, hammered,
patinated and partially enameled copper are for both interior and
exterior uses.
In 1964, the Woolley's were commissioned to create
Decorative Copper work for the San Diego Civic Theatre (Ruocco,
Kennedy, & Rosser, A.I.A.) including Light Reflectors, Light
Articulators, and two 10' x 16' Sculptural Reliefs. One of these
murals, "Creative Sun," is pictured in the last black
and white photograph.
Some years later the City of San Diego took down all of these works
in an effort to remodel the Civic Theatre. Salvaged items were then
sold off through the City Store about 20 years ago. It is extraordinary
to find any of these pieces. This piece was saved in excellent original
condition and stored for many years. Custom walnut frame and mounting.
Dimensions:
Frame measures 23” x 23”. Copper relief measures 17”
x 17”
