Reverence Artwork

"Science is not about control. It is about cultivating a perpetual condition of wonder in the face of something that forever grows one step richer and subtler than our latest theory about it. It is about reverence, not mastery." -- Richard Powers Once again, Powers captures thoughts about literature or science that embrace my beliefs and feelings about art. To aim for mastery seems impossible for anyone, like aiming for perfection. When would one know they have arrived? Reverence and tenacity are more realistic. All works from the 'Dissecting Gravity' series are created on high quality paper mounted wood panels artfully painted & splashed with pure watercolors. The rich texture of the trees and other images are created with collaged pieces of litter, recycled junk mail and old magazines, as a gentle reminder that if we do not stop trashing the planet, trees will not grow from our garbage in the future. The overall result is an aesthetically alluring composition with a hidden message about protecting our forests. Ready to hang. No framing required. This painting will be professionally packed and shipped in a box. The entire piece is finished with two coats of archival satin varnish, creating a contemporary yet natural look. Sides are natural wood protected by varnish as well. To learn more about the Artist visit - Open studios are available in San Anselmo, CA daily.
