Client: Mark Landrum/ Art Collector

Overview

A depiction of the tidal pools along the coast of California. Project for Art Collector through a Gallery. Fabricated in Germany with Franz Mayer of Munich. My intention is to give the viewer an exhilarating, full-body experience through images, colors, and textures. Inspiration for this work began from ideas and research about the natural environment. I search for a new insight, a new consciousness about the places between the land, sun, and water. Juxtaposing these relationships create new meanings.

Goals

As one views this expanse from original mosaic above to the pool area, color will gradually deepen. Moving from the other direction, color indicates traveling into the light. Some images in this area will have variations of reflective gold or silver glass to represent the idea of nature being similar to buried treasure. Beautiful painting of luminous glass and ceramic pieces with some larger images such as the fish and birds can be seen.

Process

Opposites are movement and floating / light to dark / or day and night. Tidal pools, ponds or rivers, represent a constant change and renewal in life.
The materials chosen for this mural will reflect and absorb light. Glass has incredible depth and yet the surface will change with the time of day offering constant renewal and discovery with the play of light and shadow.
