Between worlds: lions gate
Nearly four years ago I began a two piece canvas painting at an unprecedented size. 7.ft x 14.ft
Fresh off a single 7ft x 7ft canvas, I wanted to feel what one image spanning two full size canvas’ would end up looking like.
These were uncharted creative waters.
It’s been years of love and confusion on this one,
As you walk around it you visually feel a motion. a pulling
the focusing of an un-rendered end.
Fragmented perceptions / layers
There were times these hid behind file cabinets.
Covered with drop cloths for seasons.
With no predisposed endpoint, the pace of development was one about inquisition / methods / materials / & multiple pieces acting as a whole.
aprox 7.ft x 14.ft canvas. [ 2[7×7] ]
Aerosol, acrylic, metallic paint, paint pens & ink on 14.oz canvas.
[still tacked on to studio wall / un-streched ]
final layer of clear coat was applied August 12th, 2018.
Beginning in and ending within the annual solar cycle of our sun aligning with an even larger star; Sirius. One from the edge of the milky way.
While not knowing much more than a final push to wrap this project up, feels / looks right, and all the planetary thought comes to mind in hindsight.
