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.
