Pebble Series, 2016
Towards the end of Authentic Line & Pentagon I felt a sense of completion and then opened to something new. I remembered an image that kept popping into my work, uninvited, starting with Standing Stones (five series back). A floating pod shape. An opening into another realm.
I decided to invite it in… in order to learn from it. I called it Pebble.
The Pebble Series began with a quest, but posed a dilemma, ie, how to conjure it up when I felt no control over it? How to capture the spirit of an image, not just copy it… for it had volition—a will of its own.
The line work was directed upward as if summoning the shape, which appeared only after the effort of the lines. The velocity of the energy created the pebble that rose above the lines, exposing another realm.
