Mary Jane Miller & Marisela Gutièrrez
You won't find a pair of artists like this anywhere in the world. Both of them began their current work at the same time, not knowing one another, and in different countries. It was change that brought them together as friends and fellow adventurers in techniques nearly lost in today's world.
The term reposè refers to the hammering of silver/tin alloy into flat sheets, then engraving and tooling it on both sides to create form and design. The technique was widely used during the 11th century. By the 16th century, it had reached its glory, incorporating gold, jewels, pearl inlay, and filigree.
Egg tempera is another old world art form. Its origin is found in Egyptian mummy portraiture. Earth pigments suspended in hot wax used during the first century evolved into the use of dry pigments and egg yolk.
