Chroma-Scapes

Chroma-Scapes (2024 – 2025)

These works perform as a conceptual transfiguration of a landscape into a chromatic composition based upon the pigment particle size of the prepared rocks and crystals. The layers of colour of the natural mineral pigments create a chromatic depth to unify the compositional elements which perform like a landscape memory, or dream. Pure gold leaf and white gold as final layers, or under-layers for other colours are integral in creating a luminous chromatic experience.
