Artist Statement: Archaeological artifacts—traces of the past—are often aged, broken, distorted, or otherwise altered from their original form. New insights may be needed to discover their true form and purpose.
The work is constructed from plywood layers that are cut with concentric ovals using my home-built ornamental turning machine. The assembled forms are coated with metal-laden acrylic paints and applied acids to create the surface patina.
