Gilding

Over the course of 4 years ( 2013-2017) , the Minnesota State Capitol went through a major restoration.
Part of this involved taking down “The Progress of State “ made by Daniel Chester French and Edward Clark Potter from the top of the capitol.
The steel and copper sculpture was cleaned, reprimed and gilded.  In 2016,  I was honored to assist Jensen Conservation with the regilding portion of this work.
