Atmospheric Drift

Acrylic gouache molding water multiple papers on cradled wooden panel.

48x24x1.50"

A large-scale immersive original mixed-media piece that explores the quiet interplay between heavy texture, negative space, and subtle color. Built slowly over five months, the piece invites contemplation, using organic shapes, tactile layers of paper, and a striking anchor of deep, moody blacks and rich warm bronze against a serene, neutral white base. A soft wash of powder blue grounds the composition, creating a sense of breath, depth, and atmospheric movement that shifts beautifully in changing light.

Crafted through meticulous layering and building, this work incorporates hand-torn papers, structural pastes, and delicate washes. Every square inch offers rich tactile details — from subtle embossed arcs and folds of paper to fine mark-making hidden within neutral fields.
