Francesca Gabbiani "Gold Rush" 2008
Talk about obsessive. Francesca Gabbiani's pieces are created from layers of intricately cut colored paper, with some gouache added for good measure. Her work riffs on empty spaces and decoration, and expertly pulls off the paradoxical state of feeling both extravagant and minimalist at once. I love this black mirror series in particular. Apparently when viewed in person, the glass does indeed reflect the viewer's face, floating like an apparition in ink.
