MY CURRENT WORK
Having worked with lacquer for the last 20 years you would think that I have seen it all. But this material, created with pigments and sanded down to my whims, never ceases to amaze me.
I’ve been turning to traditional techniques for the last 2 years, alongside my work with animal skulls.
One day while tidying up I stumbled upon a forgotten stock of gold, bronze, copper and silver metal powders.
With new inspiration and new materials I experimented with some effects and immersed myself in the subtleties, in awe of the transparencies, the “maki-e”, the layering, various densities and especially the effects that evolve depending on the consistency of the base.
Despite this immersion I still cannot help but try to control the drips with contours and outlines...people do not change overnight.
