This is a series that I’ve been working on for a while. I buy deep antique frames and fill them with layers of clear resign and images that I have meticulously cut out with a scalpel. I can achieve the illusion of remarkable depth, sort of like the forced perspective of baroque stage sets. I think of these as shadow boxes with views of weird, slightly ominous dreams.

Perhaps this reliquary series can be linked to “cabinets or curiosities” or the studiolos of the renaissance where unusual and exotic things could be examined in privacy.

Reflection

Posted on March 25, 2013 by trompehalf

I’m currently working on some deep boxes that allow me to use real objects in the compositions. Inside the box I use mirrors and resin to suspend the objects in interesting ways.

One of my baroque stage, deeply layered resin pieces. Oberon was the king of the fairies in Midsummer Nights Dream by Shakespeare.  Flowers with magical properties were used by Oberon.

Part of my on-going fascination with Venice. This enfilade is made up of several rooms in different palazzos.
