FURTHER DETAILS
From 1999-2001, inspired by his travels and the writings of James Mellaart, Stella returned to the subject of ancient urban centers in the Fertile Crescent—Ain Ghazal, Nemrik, Abu Hureyra and Ganji Dareh. Out of these studies came a series of mixed-media cast aluminum reliefs, often with integrated ceramics, and a series of prints with intaglio and relief. The artist took Ain Ghazal further, integrating hand-coloring.
