Paper Procession I, 2023
Steel, aluminium, oil paint

The first in a series of six sculptures, made from aluminium panels, fixed to a steel armature and hand-painted in oils. These works are based on a series of small-scale paper sculptures, made from coloured and torn pages from a 19th century accounting journal from the Chiesa di San Francesco Saverio in Palermo.
