Floor Panel, San Niccolo, Florence
Floor Panel, San Niccolo, Florence
2003

Inlaid stone panels and tombs found in churches are often covered with rugs for both practical utilitarian and protective purposes. In the church of San Niccolo in Florence, I was able to uncover, photograph, and make rubbings of a number of floor panels with the permission and kind assistance of one of the church's caretakers. Two paintings resulted from the imagery that I gathered from San Niccolo.
