Thinking Inside the Box

The boxes are wood covered with chalky gesso and adorned with gold leaf, bole, graphite, watercolor, oil paint, ink, screws, beads, recycled spools, and copper wire; they are made from the most precious and the most ordinary materials. 

​They call attention to our compromised environment and endangered species through the use of ancient gilding techniques that are on the verge of being lost or forgotten in our high-tech age.  The rare medium lends poetry to the message about fragile ecosystems and vanishing species.
