“God has made us to be conduits of his grace. The danger is in thinking the conduit should be lined with gold. It shouldn't. Copper will do.”

― John Piper, Desiring God: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist

‘Copper Ore in an Abandoned Mine’

Rough rocks crowd the space around, with their dark, foreboding faces encircling the opening to the mine. Beams of light illuminate the dusty wooden support structures that seem go on for miles, as an old iron railway cart lays open with it’s murky gems and ores. Copper, iron, coal all mixed together and left with the fingerprints of urgency upon them. Within this design, we want to explore the concept of the clay and ink being rooted in it’s earthy nature, similar to the copper ore.

“I looked at the ornaments on the desk. Everything standard and all copper. A copper lamp, pen set and pencil tray, a glass and copper ashtray with a copper elephant on the rim, a copper letter opener, a copper thermos bottle on a copper tray, copper corners on the blotter holder. There was a spray of almost copper-colored sweet peas in a copper vase.

It seemed like a lot of copper.”

― Raymond Chandler, The High Window
