Empreinte 2

With the image of a body printed on silk in mind, Andrea Ellis created this wall piece by layering kimono fragments floating on the surface and by using the reverse glass gilding technique. The 23.5 carat gold is water gilded onto the back of acrylic glass. Fluid oil paint flows behind the fabric to reflect the ukiyo-e prints from the Edo period in Japan.
