Description: In artworks that mix printingmaking and painting, Eduardo Fausti explores themes from the natural world. Fausti is as interested in natural history as in cultural history. And, in visual terms, he muses about what happens when the two collide.
The use of Latin text in "Skull", as well as in other Eduardo Fausti canvases, attempts to convey the sense of a scientific or an analytical study. Because Latin is considered a "dead" language, the artist finds it an appropriate tongue in which to lists the names of extinct plants. View detail. The etchings applied to this canvas include the botanical names of some of the plants that have become extinct within the past 50 years. View detail showing printing and edges of attached etchings that give an ordered structure to the canvas.
