Rock and Remainder

Acrylic and modeling paste on canvas, 2026
20 × 30 in

It started with a sky at sunset and a sea, but a sea without a horizon. I wanted the place where water meets sky to be impossible to locate, so I kept blending until the join was gone. Then I took more away. Some of the sea has dried out and left rock where the water used to be, and there are hardly any waves left in what remains. It may be a sea surrounded by rock, or what is left of one after a long time. I left it undecided.
