Rebecca Szeto is a San Francisco-based artist who takes old, stained paintbrushes and transforms them into luminous women of the renaissance. Szeto hand carves the handle ends of the brushes and lets the fringes mimic their gowns. Szeto explains,
“These works play with notions of re-forming beauty and value. I use humble, end-of-life, mass-produced materials inspired by my experience as a faux finisher.”
