acrylic on canvas mounted on wood, composite gold leaf 60x60"
Jason Leith, 2016
A few years after launching Sacred Streets, I felt it necessary to frame myself in similar gold-gilded ways I was framing the individuals I met on the streets.
I was also exploring my own spiritual convictions around sacrifice and humility. I asked myself, what can I tear down? Could a breaking release what lies within the confines of this vessel?
This piece was created in the studio and was cut open on film.
