What is your passion?
What is your spark, your light, your joy?
What makes you glow?
In The Light Within, I used acrylic markers to create patterns of swirling lines on watercolor paper. I photographed the result before tearing the watercolor paper into small fragments, which I arranged in a montage. I photographed the montage, which one sees at the center of the work. I printed the montage again at a larger scale; strips from this print are arranged around the central opening. I printed a final version of the original, untorn drawing on an even larger scale, and that forms the background. After an initial coat of acrylic gel medium, I painted additional lines before sealing the piece with acrylic varnish.
In the finished piece I see a glowing, creative passion churning away, irrepressible.
