Arts

I have been working on a big commission for Iolo in Los Angeles for the past two months.
The work will be a total of ten feet by five feet, covering two canvases, mounted on a sixteen-foot wide wall.

I'm really excited about how this has evolved - i started with a grid and began to lay out my "shifting panels" layers, developing a degree of transparency and evoking movement.





now, out of a seam in the diagonal axis of the composition, comes a flood of life at different scales, mingling with old eroded architectural elements and buildings.
When this is complete it should read in a number of ways, one of which could be that this giant mass of organic life and buildings is actually one large living organism itself, camouflaged by matching colors to a very rigid orthogonal grid...
