In 2007, when I turned 50, a group of friends and myself travelled to Italy for the trip of a lifetime. My husband and I took many day trips and on one of them, we got lost, which was not hard to do in Italy! We stumbled upon a crumbling structure that we believe could have been a fortress because of where it was situation, and/or a castle of some sort. The views were breathtaking; you could see for miles-cyprus trees, olive groves, gentle hills and valleys. The ancient building was also beautiful in its' own way. The above piece commemorates this beauty.
The piece is 12" X 18" and consists of Mexican Smalti, Stained Glass, cement rubble, twigs and it is set in thinset.
