About

Bau No.2 forms part of Forsythe’s latest Bau Series, created through her return to resin, wood and delicate gold leaf detailing. The work presents these materials in a sleek and restrained composition, allowing their contrasting qualities to become an integral part of its visual identity. Its refined proportions and subtle material interplay create a quietly sophisticated presence.

Developed during the first year of Forsythe’s PhD research, the Bau Series revisits earlier techniques and processes from her practice. The use of wood and gold leaf recalls elements that featured prominently when resin was first introduced into her work, transforming those earlier approaches into a more considered contemporary language. This connection between past and present gives Bau No.2 a sense of continuity within Forsythe’s evolving artistic journey.

The work demonstrates how Forsythe can move between vibrant colour-driven experimentation and a more restrained exploration of materiality. Resin, wood and gold leaf are allowed to exist in subtle contrast, creating an artwork that rewards close attention to surface, detail and composition. Bau No.2 offers collectors a sophisticated example of the artist’s continuing investigation into material, form and the quiet expressive potential of resin.
