Tinted plaster is applied in many layers and burnished to create a surface
of depth to which occasionally silver leaf is applied and then either left
to naturally tarnish or is blackened through a chemical process. The aging
process is the preferred method of achieving a record of the passage of time
and the best chance for unexpected nuances to emerge as the piece goes
through a long process of change.
These graceful forms tend to evoke a meditative response and lie somewhere
between a state of object and pure abstraction.
