2023

Gouache on Black Paper

10” x 7.5”

Inspired by the 1000-yr-old architecture of Macina di San Cresci, the Tuscan residency where I spent two hot weeks in July 2023. The studio of the residency was an olive mill and wine cellar, with equipment and casks embedded in the iconic space. I made a series of stonework studies while in residence, and spent several days painting in the shaded garden to escape the heat.
