Description

Relief/painting by Gail Gregg, Gilded Gyre Fragment #92 (metal leaf on cardboard, 9.5" x 10" x 1.25", 2014–15). The image illustrates a mid-to-later career stage in Gail Gregg's art: her encaustic and metal-leaf works of the 2000s, which used the found industrial forms of contemporary throwaway culture as support and point of departure and pushed toward relief sculpture. In this painting, she used metal leaf on cardboard packing forms to transform detritus in mysterious, precious objects. This work and similar works were publicly exhibited in prominent venues, discussed in major art journals and daily press publications, and acquired by museums.

Purpose of use

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a mid-to-later body of work in Gail Gregg's art from the 2000s when she shifted the point of departure for her paintings from the landscape to the detritus of contemporary throwaway culture. These works pushed beyond the physical limits of paintings toward relief sculpture, employing found industrial forms as support—cardboard shipping materials, wine bottle dividers, 19th-century loom cards, plastic packaging. The resulting patterns ranged from the geometric and constructivist to the whimsical. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize this key stage of her work, a shifted in theme and form, which brought her further recognition through exhibitions in major venues, coverage by major critics and publications, and museum acquisitions. Gregg's work of this type is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.
