Artwork description:

Tremia is a small (2 inches in diameter) composition which I made from soft, translucent organic gels and plant parts. To transform it into an image of glowing bloom and air bubbles I utilized unique physical properties of organic gels; their predisposition to form soft, organic shapes and their ability to glow with light and vivid colors when subjected to deformations and photographed in the cross-polarized light.

Materials used:

canvas print, wood float frame (black)
