Mount of Transfiguration Waterprint
24 x 24 cm /9.5 x 9.5 in, ink and water on paper, 2021
Mount of Transfiguration is a beautiful specimen of the artist’s special technique. Compellingly dark layers create a dense textured surface which could be imagined as landscape or geological formation. Juxtaposed by a cloud-like figurative shape traced in air. This raw appeal is tempered with midnight blue, burnt umber, forest green, and enhanced with the complexity of gently smoky black. Like a protective cover the optical impression is located between the viewer and the extremely tense tactile quality of the paper surface. This dialectic of movement and fragility, permeates. The light models the texture of the waterprint, making it appear almost sculptural.
