I am currently writing about and working with azee new process called Scagliola, “scal-yo-lah” an obscure 17th century plaster technique. I have been interested in the process for years and finally found a master Scaglioist who had a direct lineage to the Italian tradition of Scagliola, which is different from the German and American variations. Scagliola is traditionally used on walls and flat surfaces but my innovation is to use the process sculpturally. I am also using this sculptural innovation as an extension to my painting based practice. Here is the new work I have completed this past month. I will be posting text about the process soon ~ stay tuned!
