This group of painted gemstones is a response to history which has been long forgotten. They are individually hand stretched onto shaped stretchers giving them the impression of being real gemstones. They are reminiscent of Tromp l’oel, which is French for to "deceive the eye". It is a decorative painting technique that uses realistic imagery to create an optical illusion, in which the depicted painted objects appear to exist in three dimensions, thus making the gemstones look like giant versions of the real thing.
Pussy's Galore
These nostalgic renditions of her menagerie, including cats and rabbits with bows, are loosely based on the paper Scraps from the Victorian period, dating from the late 1800's onwards.
