PRODUCT DETAILS

  • Moroccan Tadelakt on custom Baltic Birch panel. Encaustic and natural mineral pigments.
  • 36" H x 36" W
"Scent" is an exercise in the beauty of near-invisibility, its pale Tadelakt plaster surface carved with large, overlapping floral forms that reveal themselves slowly — petals, fans, and rounded blooms pressed into the ground in low relief, visible only through the subtle play of shadow across the white-on-white surface. The rounded corners of the panel soften the composition further, and the flowers themselves feel less botanical than architectural, their forms echoing the decorative tilework and carved plasterwork of the Moroccan tradition from which the medium originates. It is a work that rewards patience and changing light, the design appearing and receding depending on how you look — present but never insistent, like a fragrance just caught in the air.

A superb example of what can be accomplished when outdated limitations are removed, Dawn’s mastery of Tadelakt plaster takes the ancient into a new dimension. Hand created hues, unconventional forms and audacious wit are all hallmarks of Ms. Bassett’s creations.
