Full Circles
24"x27"
While carving my rough balls from washed ashore damaged buoys for my ‘Ocean Totem’ Scuptures, I created thousands of foam shavings. I hadn’t imagined that there would be so much debris and it didn’t fee right to through it away. I really wanted to use the buoys in their entirety which would mean giving all those little shavings a purpose. From them, these two paintings were born, “Full Circle Blue”.
The buoy foam shaving are laid out in a watery flow. The surface is washed with paint and the outer colors of the original buoys are highlighted.
