Against a white ground, Mashian places eleven large sculptural teardrops. Each one is encrusted in gold and in its own internal universe. The large drops are gemological in their complexity, their surfaces built up in layer upon layer of mixed media.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMashian’s gold borders around the teardrops are reminiscent of gilded frames in Renaissance panel painting.
