Ecstatic Decay
Ecstatic Decay
Ecstatic Decay represents a bold venture into partial minimalism, offering a stark contrast to my characteristic maximalist intricacy. The piece evokes imagery of archaeological digs or fragmented relics, as though unearthed from a lost civilization.
Pure copper leaf graces the top layer, lending a radiant patina that suggests both resilience and corrosion. This interplay of creation and decay invites reflection on the beauty of imperfection and the passage of time, capturing a moment suspended between past and present.
This artwork is numbered as an edition of 10, all of which are currently available. I never reproduce or reissue my editions.
This copper foil is a new material I’m working with. Copper typically patinas over time. Since this is a foil material, I don’t expect it to patina as much as pure copper, but its possible the artwork will evolve over time, especially near salt water or in heavy moisture climates.

I endeavor to make my work as robust as possible, but the designs are still delicate and need to be handled with care. As for most artwork, best practice is to keep these pieces out of prolonged direct sunlight or excessively humid environments.
