From Modern to Ancient

My latest commission piece is finished! This is my most ambitious gilding project to date. The design is based on carved stones at Iona Abbey in Scotland to celebrate the customer's heritage. I customized 4 leaf clovers into it to represent the Irish in the family too. Black walnut, polymer, silver foil, and acrylics.

The most powerful offering I've given to Venus Aphrodite to date has been my hair. 9 inches of it.

“Soon you will die, and still you aren’t sincere, undisturbed, or free from suspicion that external things can harm you, nor are you gracious to all, knowing that wisdom and acting justly are one and the same.” —MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 4.37

“For death remembered should be like a mirror, Who tells us life’s but breath, to trust it error.” - Pericles
