Breathless + Surface = quiet subtlety to sparkling vibrancy

Breathless: a pause which takes one’s breath away” in beauty or pain, a sense of awe, stunned, wondering, the vast space of the atmosphere, room to breathe or to catch one’s breath both literally and figuratively.

Surface: I work on an iridescent medium, which has a velvety appearance. The medium absorbs layers of washes, creating an atmospheric sense of the sublime. The textured center plays off of the washed surface to create a loosely defined interior/exterior boundary. Glitter adds an additional element of surface texture and another level of play between light and texture.
