BASSE TAILLE TEXTURE #1 – TRIFID – oil, 36” x 36”, 2010
Basse-taille is an enamelling technique in which I create a low-relief pattern on copper using the etching process, a translucent enamel is then applied to the metal, allowing light to reflect from the relief and creating an interesting effect.
