Silver threads from an ancestral portrait form the backbone of this painting, a glimpse into a past world once beloved. Deep and dark, the scene within takes on different forms, changing with the passing light and colors that surround it. The historical medium of soft pastel, traditionally fragile and untouchable, has been transformed into an accessible and intimate form encased in a glossy, glassy pool of resin. No framing required, this piece stands on its own.
