Gold leaf application alongside organic materials creates a layered surface. Found elements suggest archaeological or archival approaches to contemporary practice. The small scale invites intimate viewing of material transformations. Traditional materials like animal glue and tree resin connect to historical art-making methods. Chipped paint fragments introduce accidental textures into the composition. The title Pentimenti references the art historical term for visible corrections in paintings.
