Mixed Media on Cradled Aquabord
10" x 8"
Part of my TeaScape series that layers landscape imagery over salvaged tea packaging. The landscape and tea correlate in a dissonant way. In this piece, there is a distinction of space between the placement of the tea as a symbolic home, offering protection from devastation - the suggestion of fire. This was created during the fires of Australia, but the images seem universal to our situation now.
Aquabord is a wood panel treated with an absorbent ground that permits the use of watercolor and water media. This piece incorporates watersoluble graphite (pencil that disolves with water) and watersoluble crayon.
This painting is headed to a show, "Boldy Taking up Space: Southeast Scope" in Tennessee in May. For interest in purchasing please contact me. https://www.traillworks.com/exhibits--events.html
