8 × 3 feet
Acrylic painting on heavyweight paper
This is about the feeling of walking into an empty space where someone just was. There’s still a warmth and lingering energy.
I went in knowing exactly how I wanted to paint the movement of energy, a purely abstract representation. I sat in front of this completed piece a long time when I realized the right also looks like grass/earth. The empty space on the left, with its abberations/lingering energy, moves to the right, underground. The piece also moves right to left: moving from underground into open air. The piece moves back and forth, back and forth. Someone was just there and now they’re underground, someone was just underground and now they’re not. I’m processing death these days and was bowled over by my experience sitting in front of this piece (It’s much different at 8 feet than on a screen). It’s like we know what to give ourselves when we open the channel.
