Original artwork description:

“An Effusion of Blue into Infinity,” is composed of two linen canvases, one measuring 65 x 50 cm, the other measuring 65 x 54 cm, both bracketed together with stainless steel fixations. The dynamic asymmetry of the two canvases incites a conversation about equilibrium and the constant falling away from it.

The blue color that can sometimes be seen in bodies of water are the reflections of the blue sky above. In certain light conditions, the ocean’s water, filled with different minerals and microscopic life, gives off a greenish hue, and when the foam of the waves hit the seashore, the reflections of the sky’s blue above reflecting across the sea water’s greenish hue, combines to become a beautiful cerulean blue flickering expansively across the rolling tides of the shore. This expansion of an iridescent color may be the closest thing on earth to a sense of infinity without looking above to the stars.
