Acetate Quartet, 2009 

I had been experimenting with a strip of acetate that I had found, and had been creating a variety of different works by melting it, burning it and applying inks, metal leaf and metal pigment powders to it, when I was commissioned to create this quartet on the basis of the work that I had been making. 

The client wanted four pieces in neutral colours to place above a fireplace. I created this quartet for them. Each piece is presented in a 23cm square white box frame, and is made of acetate, metal leaf, ink and metal pigment powder.

It originally hung in Pafos, Cyprus, but the client has since moved it to a home in England.

Suite of four small, square artworks each containing a strip of melted acetate that has been coloured in muted orange ink and burnished with metal leaf. Each strip is set before a background that has also been burnished with gold & silver metal leaf
