The Crossing
Series: Between Worlds
Medium: Acrylic on Panel
Dimensions: 24 x 36 inches (Framed)
Visual Narrative
The Crossing is a striking mixed-media exploration of transition and movement. Set against a heavily textured, ethereal sky of distressed blues and whites, the piece captures a moment of migration—or perhaps a spiritual passage.
A singular, large crow dominates the left foreground, its silhouette sharp and detailed as it glides across a luminous, gold-leaf sun. Behind it, a scattered "murder" of smaller birds trails off into the distance, creating a sense of depth and directional energy that pulls the viewer's eye across the horizon.
Artistic Elements
• The Sky: The background features a complex, layered application of acrylics. The palette of sky blue, cerulean, and pale cream is applied with a palette knife or scraping technique, revealing underlying layers and creating a weathered, "between-worlds" atmosphere.
• The Landscape: The bottom third of the panel depicts a grounded, earthy terrain in rich ochres, burnt sienna, and deep reds. This warm, terrestrial base provides a heavy contrast to the airy, fractured sky above.
• The Celestial Focal Point: The gold-toned orb acts as the compositional anchor. Its shimmering texture suggests a bridge between the physical and the metaphysical, serving as the literal "crossing" point for the avian subjects.
Interpretation
True to its place in the Between Worlds series, The Crossing sits at the intersection of the known and the unknown. The crow—often a symbol of prophecy, change, and the messenger between realms—leads a collective journey toward an uncertain but inevitable destination. The contrast between the solid earth and the disintegrating sky reflects the tension of being in a state of flux.
18 × 24 on panel framed. A quiet landscape suspended between what was and what is becoming, where light gathers and the path gently opens.
Strata Totem Series
Elevate your space with the Strata Totem Series, a collection of striking vertical abstracts designed to command attention through unique dimensions. These pieces function as "architectural jewelry" for the home—perfect for narrow columns, entryways, or as a rhythmic installation when grouped together.
The Construction
Each piece in this series is meticulously built on professional-grade, high-quality wood panels. This solid substrate provides a perfectly flat, warp-resistant surface that supports the heavy textural elements and metallic leafing. The narrative continues beyond the face of the work, as the art wraps seamlessly around the extra-deep 2.75" sides, giving the series a bold, sculptural presence that traditional canvas cannot match.
The Vision
The series explores the concept of "strata"—the layering of time, texture, and color. Each piece is a rich tapestry of deep teals, cerulean blues, and misty aquas, punctuated by bold applications of gold leaf and intricate textural patterns. The verticality draws the eye upward, mimicking the natural stacking of earth and atmosphere.
