Gold Leaf

Gold Leaf, 2008-2010, silver gelatin photograph transferred onto transparency gilded with gold.

“For the Gold Leaf series I strove to create its characteristic ethereal tone by transferring a silver gelatin photograph onto a transparency and gilding it twice with 22-karat gold leaf. Gold added richness to the images and continued my exploration of light, in this case warm and natural, leading to an aesthetic effect that refers to the way light was recreated by the old masters.”

All of the Globe Gold Leaf images come in various sizes. They are all made with 22K gold leaf.
