Space Filler

            Acrylic on hand shaped board [122 x 61cm]

A new painted object that subsumes all my previous work into one intersecting point. The twelve sided face (dodecagon) is cut from a standard rectangular board. Pulsating coloured lines weave internal geometries across the surface and three textured neutral tones hold illusory light and shadow like the facets of a cut gem stone.

This object can be hung on both vertical and horizontal planes, with no right side up. The space of nothing in the centre can be read as the closest face of the object and simultaneously as a distant void.

All rocks are from outer-space.
