I came across this while cleaning the studio. I made it by printing process colors on clear cast laminate. There are three layers applied on top of each other. This creates the secondary and tertiary colors, and in the areas where the same color is over layered, creates a very luminous final original color (cyan, magenta, and yellow). The base is made from 2 white acrylic pieces cut to trapezoidal shapes and fitted together. This photo can’t capture the real candy like luminescence of the colors in this piece!

When I work on paintings I often have some color left that I don’t want to waste, so I have some paper, sihl, pvc and canvas that I will apply the leftover paint to. It frees me up to be very experimental cos these bits of material were destined for the dumpster anyway. I usually will end up using parts of these in collages, but sometimes I get a complete statement that stands alone. The last swipe of the reddish/orange paint kicked the above into a whole different world of unexpected beauty. I like how the geometric shapes become organic, even floral while the different uneven textures imply some kind of cosmic light. The bonus is that none of it was planned, and now I have stumbled upon a basis for a new series.
