Palladium Leaf on Walnut panels

www.sandraspannan.com The new ART work of Sandra Spannan is a series of gilded walnut panels showing images of tree branches and other elements in nature. Chaos in these forms of nature are attractive and beautiful, still when we encounter manmade chaos, we tend to find it disturbing or distractive. All pieces reflect on the constant longing for that natural and endless chaos, especially living and working in New York City. The natural and old materials like precious metals and solid wood enhance the exploration of nature.
