I chose to do this project because I could not just choose between good or evil because to me you cannot have one without the other. I chose to do the wire frame globe because I had the copper lying around. It is made of 1/8 in wire from an insulated strand of wire used to hold up small bridges. I bent the wire frame around a 5 gallon bucket and added the horizontal circles after the vertical ones were made and put into place. The wooden block is a piece of stained walnut from an old mantle that I put in a friend’s house. I drilled 1/8 in holes in a circle in the wood to keep them in shape. To attach all the copper at the top and keep it from shifting I brazened it with an acetylene torch and Silver solder. The green snake is made of copper tubing that was left outside during the rain and the oxidation that occurred turned the copper green in a process called Vertegreeing. The green copper reminded me of a garden snake which made me think of the garden of Eden and how the snake tempted Eve. So the green copper became the devil, represented by a snake, which busted out of the earth. The Maltese cross has always been my preferred symbol of Christ and is made out of one piece of copper hand bent. If you notice both the snake and the cross are both inside and outside of the globe. The side with the snake bursting forth from the earth was blackened by keeping the acetylene torch on the copper for prolonged periods of time, in essence burning the copper and turning it black. If you run your hand down the copper, it will pick up some oxidized copper that looks like ash. The idea came to me from looking at the symbol for Yin and Yang and how there is part light in the darkness and vice-versa. This inspired me that you cannot have good without evil and that looking at adam and eve showed me that man is both inherently good and evil on both the inside and outside. The snake bursting out from the earth shows the evil on the inside and the cross welded to the inside and out shows that man is both good and bad on the inside and out. Again that you cannot have either good or evil without its counterpart.
