What do you think of when you see a crumpled piece of paper? Should it be thrown away? What does it contain...a love letter, angry words, precious information?
This is my chasing and repousse piece for my Camouflage project...so many times we think to say something to someone else, but think better of it, and throw the thought away. Perhaps it is words of love, or anger, etc. There are many reasons to discard those thoughts and emotions, but they never really disappear.
This piece reflects on the permanence of those emotions and thoughts, even when they are crumpled up to be thrown away.
Take a ride alongside the 2016 Bartlett Cup sailing log canoe races that took place on Sunday, September 18, 2016.
The Edward L. Bartlett Cup, a silver repousse’ punch bowl, was originally presented to the commodore of the Baltimore Yacht Club in 1905. When donated to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, it was re-purposed as a perpetual trophy for a museum-sponsored log canoe race, typically the last race of the log canoe season on the Miles River.
CBMM has sponsored this race, which is supported on the river by the Miles River Yacht Club’s Sail Committee, since 1972.

Sheet applique with portrait of Alexander the Great as young Heracles, repoussé technique, Gold, Greek, Hellenistic, 3rd - 1st Century B.C, 24 mm diameter, 1,4 gr
Alexander III of Macedon, commonly known as Alexander the Great, was a king of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon. A member of the Argead dynasty, he was born in Pella—a city in Ancient Greece—in 356 BC. He succeeded his father King Philip II to the throne at the age of 20, and spent most of his ruling years conducting a lengthy military campaign throughout Western Asia and Northeastern Africa. By the age of thirty, he had created one of the largest empires in history, stretching from Greece to northwestern India. He was undefeated in battle and is widely considered to be one of history's greatest and most successful military commanders.

His father Philip was assassinated in 336 BC at the wedding of Cleopatra of Macedon, Alexander's sister, and Alexander assumed the throne of the Kingdom of Macedon. In 335 BC he campaigned in the Balkans, reasserting control over Thrace and Illyria before sacking the Greek city of Thebes.

Emmanuel Fremiet (1824-1910)
St Michael Slaying the Dragon
Circa 1897
Interconnected copper group
H. 6.17; W. 2.6; D. 1.2 m
___________________________
In 1894, Fremiet was chosen to design the statue to crown the spire of the abbey of Mont Saint Michel. He had been famous as a sculptor since his Joan of Arc had been set up in the Place des Pyramides in Paris in 1874. With Joan, he founded a new form of realism, characterised by minute description, in which a sense of precision was combined with a veritable archaeological quest. He preferred the severe iconography of the Middle Ages to the almost baroque schema derived from Raphael. Fremiet thus developed a didactic style which refused pathos, driven by a twofold passion for history and science.
His first version of St Michael was a statuette intended for commercial reproduction in 1879. Most unusually, it was this 50 cm work which was chosen to be enlarged to a height of 2.20 metres. Almost as if the architect had selected it from a catalogue. This practice of verifying the artist's aesthetic choices in advance, combined with Fremiet's "historical realism" sat very well with the new vision of historic monuments advocated by Viollet-le-Duc and his followers, in search of architectural reconstructions.
The statue is unusual in Fremiet's work because of its dynamism; it must be imagined gilded in the Mont Saint Michel version, flashing in the light in the open air. It is made of repoussé copper: the copper plates were hammered in the workshop, then mounted on a frame and riveted together. The resulting work was relatively light: lifting a heavy bronze statue to the top of the spire would have been insane. The Monduit firm was commissioned to execute the statue and made two other copies, one for the spire of the church of Saint Michel des Batignolles in Paris, and the other for its show room, which is now in the Musée d'Orsay.

The band "Interpol" recently released their newest, eponymous album. I had visited their website the other day and noticed the typography involved with their refreshed wordmark. Definitely a sustaining piece that's true to Interpol's sort of geometric and angular approach; characteristic of their soundscape.
At the same time, I had been experimenting with Photoshop CS5's "Repousse'" 3D Rendering Tool. On top of it all, I had just completed watching a great, rare, long-form interview of the band on the Creator's Project. It it, the director of their latest video had talked about a visual concept that revolved around "black on black on black"; an interesting, bold, and challenging visual approach; definitely parallels with the Interpol's aural approach to their music.
In any event, I guess this is my interpretation/experimentation with all those cues, done-up real quick. Enjoy.
Cheers,

Object Name: Goa stone and container
Date: late 17th–early 18th century
Geography: India, Goa
Culture: Islamic
Medium: Container: gold; pierced, repoussé, with cast legs and finials Goa stone: compound of organic and inorganic materials
Goa stones, named for the place where they were manufactured by Jesuits in the late seventeenth century, were manmade versions of bezoars (gallstones from ruminants). Both types were used for their medicinal and talismanic powers. These treasured objects were encased in elaborate containers made of gold and silver and often exported to Europe. Surviving examples are recorded in European treasuries, including one made for the duke of Alba in the late sixteenth century (Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna). The stone was usually a compound of organic and inorganic materials, including bezoar, shell, amber, musk, resin, and crushed precious gems, which would be scraped and ingested with tea or water.
The egg-shaped gold container enclosing this stone consists of hemispherical halves, each covered with a layer of pierced, chased, and chiseled gold foliate openwork. An arabesque surface pattern is overlaid with an ogival trellis containing a variety of beasts, some highly Europeanized, including unicorns and griffins. The source of these images is likely to have come to Goa through the Portuguese and may also reflect a particular European patron. (This example was brought to England in the eighteenth century by a British officer in the East India Company.)

a copy of a "Saint Mary" stained glass window - project by Sir E.Burnes Jones . Gilding copper on wood panel.
Detail: The Main Altar with its golden frontal („Pala d’Oro“) in front of the Gothic Choir and its Madonna Sculpture with radiant corona from the 16th century.
Pala d'Oro
A golden altarpiece, the Pala d'Oro which today forms the Antependium of the high altar was probably created around 1020 in Fulda. It consists of seventeen individual gold panels with reliefs in repoussé. In the centre, Christ is enthroned as Redeemer in a Mandorla, flanked by Mary and the Archangel Michael. Four round medallions with images of the Evangelists' symbols show the connection to the other twelve relief panels with depictions from the life of Jesus Christ. They begin with the entry into Jerusalem and end with the encounter of the women with the risen Christ in front of the open grave on Easter morning. The depictions are read from left to right, like a book.
Stylistically, the Pala d'Oro is not uniform. The first five reliefs probably come from a goldsmith taught in the Rheinland and is distinguished by a strikingly joyful narration. It probably derives from a donation of Emperor Otto III. The other panels, together with the central group of Christ, Mary, and Michael, draws from Byzantine and late Carolingian predecessors and was likely first added under Otto's successor, Henry II, who also donated the Ambo of Henry II.

——————————————————————————————
Aachen, Kaiserdom, Choir Hall and Marienaltar - Cathedral, Gothic choir and Mary's altar
Today's Altar of Mary is the main altar of the cathedral. It consists of the marble slabs of the former Carolingian Marian altar and as an antependium it received the Pala d'oro set in a simple frame. It was probably built around 1020 in Fulda and consists of 17 relief panels made of embossed gold sheet. In the center, Christ is enthroned in the mandola, surrounded by Mary and the Archangel Michael.
In 1978, Aachen Cathedral was the first German monument to be included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The center of the church is the octagonal central building, the octagon, which with its 31 m height was the highest domed structure north of the Alps for around 400 years. The Byzantine palace churches served as a model. Valuable materials such as marble and ancient columns were brought in from Italy for the construction. In 814 Charlemagne was buried in his palatine chapel.
