1990-1995
Inspired by the ceramic vignettes made popular by the Della Robbia Family during the Italian Renaissance, my lunette series uses the imagery of the still life rather than the religious themes found in the Della Robbia repertoire. I found the lunette very engaging as it has allowed me to explore the juxtaposition of a variety of forms and their surface patterning within an architectural format.
Orvieto Red Rooster Lunette is in the permanent collection of the Renwick Gallery.
