Acrylic, mixed media on wood
22 (W) X 22 (H) inches
Etchings of the movement of water over earth.
I have a life-long reverence for world cultures, particularly indigenous cultures that have maintained a strong spiritual connection with their environment. My interest in a diversity of peoples, their experience, and practices has affected my art in different ways through the years. Influenced by the sand paintings of the Navajo and Tibetan Buddhist mandalas, I began incorporating sand into my work. It enhances the tactile presence of the work and creates a subtle interplay of light and shadow. Sand is symbolic to me personally for its various associations with healing rituals and meditation, the desert, and the ocean.
Textured acrylic on two layers of hardboard panel.
Signed on back.
Includes frame.
