“OR” references the conjunction used to introduce another possibility, and in heraldry, the tincture of gold. Warren says, “This exhibit is the result of a personal journey that started in Padua, Italy, where Giotto painted the life of Jesus in the Scrovegni Chapel. The parallels between Giotto’s time and ours — the plague, the wars, the staggering inequality — are too evident. His work was a new iconography that opened up three-dimensional space, and deeper dimensions of empathy.” Warren’s process references Giotto’s materials and techniques: clay, gold-leaf, egg-tempera, burnishing, small brushstrokes – ancient and slow, making her practice an act of contemplation.
