Aftercare Notes

Due to the nature of Cass’ works – his use of antique objects – the surfaces will naturally show evidence of their previous function. Many metals used show evidence of age – this is welcomed by the artist and adds to the concept of the project – but to avoid deterioration it is best to keep these artworks in a dry and well ventilated environment. Works on metal especially should not be hung in bathrooms. It is not advised to store works on metal (or, in oil) wrapped. By wrapping works you may be sealing in moisture.

The artist advises the delicate use of an extremely soft bristled (natural-hair) brush two or three times per year. Of course, it’s your decision how to display or care for your work, but the artist must stress that these are fragile works. They will remain as stable as such works can if they are properly cared for. Owners must be aware that any hanging or care decisions are their own responsibility.
