Material: magazine clippings; fragment of photograph of Italian fresco; vellum; metallic and other inks.
This collage is one of a series that was commissioned for a solo exhibition in Puglia, Italy in 2022.
The work was to be installed at a 16th Century Castello where, while under restoration, magnificent frescoes were uncovered. I collaged pieces of photographs of those frescoes and created compositions that contrasted the ancient and contemporary; the past and the present.
The text, written in my own hand, is an excerpt from the script in the frescoes.
