      About Me

      Foil as a Material

      Description of work 


      I start with a photo. It is scaled up and then transferred into foil and adhered onto a canvas. Foil is very thin and commonly used in packaging as a metallic, gloss or even for a matte effect. Layers of foil create a richer and more nuanced look. It's like a combination of offset printing and painting.

       

      What's hard to see on this website is the way in which the image comes alive with light. As the day changes so does the piece. Dim light may bring out a matte surface, while bright light may cause the metallics to glow brightly. There's no illusion of light. It is light itself. Colors and shapes will change much like in nature
