EnviraGlass is recycled glass which forms the base of the sculpture while the dolphin figures are made in bronze.

Wylandart sculptures made in bronze have the tendency to undergo patina changes depending on the type of elements the bronze get in contact with. To let the bronze sculpture have a homogeneous and gradual aging progress, it must be dusted frequently with the use of soft cloth, china bristle brush, or feather duster. It must also be kept out of direct sunlight. The bronze sculpture must also be waxed from time to time especially if it’s handled often. Spray waxes or treated cloths must never be used in cleaning the bronze sculpture. Ideally, a carnubabased wax should be used in rewaxing. On the other hand, an EnviraGlass sculpture must never be put near sources of heat or under direct sunlight. It can be cleaned using furniture spray wax when necessary. Wyland acrylic sculpture is cleaned using a soft, damp cloth. For a more thorough cleaning, Armor All can be used. Lastly, a Lucite Sculpture can be cleaned using a soft cloth only. Household cleaners must never be used it cleaning it so as not to destroy the Lucite. The sculpture must not be displayed near Halogen lights and direct sunlight.
