This artwork is inspired by the deafening concrete of my urban home, and the invisibility created by the cul-de-sacs of my youth. The possibilities offered in the big sky, the open land, the space between. The untold stories sitting on the horizon. The miles we travel, dreaming and being still.Like the landscape, this artwork is made of many subtle layers. The ground is brown steel covered with many layers of gold acrylic paint. The two combine to create a rich, luminescent, multi-textured background for one of my original photographs. The semitransparent pigments of the photograph allow the gold to shine through, transforming the land into a story.Enjoy the journey!
