ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This painting has machine cut wood, raised letters that have been sanded, sealed, primed, and meticulously covered in gold leaf. The letters are on a mirror that is also covered with layers of gold leaf and epoxy resin. The mirror is mounted on a wood panel; the painting can be hung directly on a wall. The entire surface and sides of the painting are covered with gold leaf and epoxy resin. The 1.5" sides of the wood panel are matching gold - no framing required! The painting is signed on the back, dated, and comes wired and ready to hang. I chose the phrase "SO BUSY" after hearing everyone say it when I moved to San Francisco in 2014. It is not intended as a criticism, only an observation. This painting incorporates gold leaf and language. Gold leaf is extremely fragile, messy, and sensitive. It cannot be touched with bare hands; one mistake ruins everything. And like words, gold leaf commands attention. The mirror and epoxy resin used in this series make the paintings heavier, literally increasing their physical weight. Conceptually, this reinforces the idea of words as having great weight of meaning. The epoxy resin additionally adds a reflective quality to the painting; our words are a reflection of who we are.
