Modular Buon Fresco Installations

Lime plaster and pigment are the basis for my experiments with buon fresco installations. These works are prototypes for how fresco might exist in modalities that are modular and capable of being assembled into a variety of forms. In the blue work titled Limelight, I polished the plaster to create Venetian surfaces that are semi-glossy. Another blue piece, Cloud, was created using the strappo technique, which involves removing from the plaster support, the paper-thin crust of lime that holds the pigment. I then attached these delicate fresco skins to round Plexiglass discs
