The caption reads, “SYNERGY, a unique collage in patinated and engraved bronze, copper, and pewter, was created in the 1970s. Kelvin stated, “This is a work where a confluence of a variety of metals and tones, set at different angles, play against each other to create a sense of movement and composition. A circular design was added to induce a slight textural nuance that contrasts with the plain surfaces of the bronze and pewter tones of the various metals and to complete the synergistic effect I had envisioned.”
