More information about the frame
This magnificent frame was made to Kurt?s instructions by Darren Pickhaven and Paul Trembath; two framers (ex-miners) working in the community of Pendeen, using local materials. The inlay of Cornish tin is particularly well crafted and contrasts beautifully with the inset with ring pulls and bottle tops. The collage was completed in 2008, and the frame in 2009.
