PLUMB THE DEPTHS


Mixed Media on Canvas  12" x 12"
This is the second in a series I am doing about "excavation".  There are many materials and layers of collage and paint that I put on the canvas, then I "excavate" to see what emerges.   The process is what I find so fascinating, and how things emerge from the depths.

Fascinating...plumbing the depths...these are beautiful in their reveal...their many layers. We are kindred spirits in this area...I'm in love with the parts revealed and how they tell the story.

Now these are cool! All rough and raw.

These pieces almost look like they were found - with history being exposed as each layer is torn off. I like the colour contrast and balance. Barry

Cindy...thanks for looking me up. I've missed your comments as well as those of my other flickr friends. Hope you are well and busy creating!

Robyn...yes I think the concept of excavating brings up such a variety of directions one could choose to pursue.

Don...thanks for your comments.

Barry...thanks for your comments, interesting that the pieces look as if they were found to you...that is exciting for me.
