# Acid-Etched Metal Installations Nature Morte by Claire Brewster is Full of Intricate Detail By Meghan Young | Published 2014-06-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nature-morte-by-claire-brewster References: [fubiz.net](http://www.fubiz.net/en/2014/06/02/metal-laser-cut-installation/) & [clairebrewster](http://clairebrewster.com/) Nature Morte by Claire Brewster, an artist based in London, United Kingdom, is an installation comprised of intricate metal artworks. Taking on forms of animals such as her previous work made out of [city maps](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/claire-brewster), these sculptures are made out of acid etched brass. This refers to the fact that they have been cut with the use of acid. Although the artist's motto is, "Capturing the essence of nature in everyday materials," this process doesn't sound very 'everyday.' Set to exhibit on June 5th at Pitfield London, all of the pieces featured in Nature Morte by Claire Brewster will be mounted on the wall. Displayed with dramatic lighting, there is a play with shadow, which brings the pieces to life. People will be astounded by the amount of detail in each work. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Acid-etched Metal Artworks:** Opportunity for artists and designers to explore the technique of acid etching to create intricate metal sculptures. - **Nature-inspired Installations:** Potential for artists and architects to incorporate nature-themed installations in various settings, creating immersive experiences for viewers. - **Playful Use of Lighting and Shadow:** Opportunity for interior designers and event planners to create captivating environments through the strategic use of lighting and shadow play. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** The art industry can embrace acid etching techniques to push the boundaries of metal artwork and create unique installations. - **Design:** Designers can explore the fusion of nature and urban environments by incorporating nature-inspired installations into architectural projects. - **Event Planning:** Event planners can enhance the atmosphere and visual impact of events by experimenting with lighting and shadow effects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Blooming Clustered Art Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/structural-botany.md) - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Nature-Inspired Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humannature-1.md) - [Nature-Celebrating Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nature-predates-man.md) - [UK-Based Modern Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relics-in-the-landscape.md) - [Towering Reclaimed Wooden Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louise-durham.md) - [Intricate Site-Specific Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-time.md) - [Science-Backed Wooden Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seed-stories.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md)
