Figures in bas-relief within an 8” box that opens as a triptych to reveal a starry night encircling an intimate scene. Deep gradated blues, sparkly gold and symbolic imagery is a reference to historical objects of art. “I embellished the surface with gold dots—symbolizing light, energy, hope, inner strength. Gold connotes preciousness and enduring value, and I wanted this to be a special piece, that would be kept for a long time.” –Susan Lordi.
