Description
Walking behind the barn in a Florence vineyard, my shoe kicked on an old wooden frame. I took it inside and cleaned it up to discover the cracked and distraught remains of a 19th century amateur still life. That month I had been commissioned to do a new cover for Sun Tzu's Art of War, and I thought to salvage this dying piece of history. I cleaned it, repainted a ghostly figure over the corroded vase, touched up the vanishing flowers, repaired the frame, and sealed the remains with sprays of thick homemade encaustic. The final image hovers in the ghostlike moment between past and future -- a collaboration across centuries.
