Another painting from my exhibit ‘Apeiron’ at the Canton Museum of Art: ‘Falling Upward’

Growth and decay, migratory waterways, microscopic bacterial stuff happening on an ecosystem scale. I think I was eager to play in a space that exists somewhere between the two and I knew I had to make the painting at a size that would physically put me in-between passages as well. ngl - a very enjoyable challenge.

Acrylic, iron oxide pigments from acid mine drainage, Appalachian coal, mixed media and other artists colors on 100 wood panels.
