"Apparent Magnitude" is a twirling delight of cool blue and grey hues from the black cosmic darkness spinning into the frenetic bluster of warm cranberry and copper clouds. Working in multiple layers, I crafted this painting to have a rich depth to it, where layers of clouds suspended over each other offer the slightest detailed glimpse into what lies beneath them. Moving this painting from natural light to sunlight is like looking at two different paintings, with the vibrancy exploding in the light and waning like a sunset to a more calm and muted set of colors in dimly lit environments. I love seeing how it changes throughout the day. That's one of the best things about working with resin. 



What is Resin?

Resin is like a liquid glass. It is a two-part epoxy that once mixed, starts to harden within the hour. 

I mix resin with various pigments and then work with a blowtorch and knife to paint these scenes. 

Some paintings have up to 5 layers of resin, each taking 72 hours to fully cure. You can see through the layers like looking through glass or water. Once cured, it is brilliantly shiny like glass and also robustly durable like a countertop. Resin is so durable it is even used to make surfboards using similar processes as to how I create my paintings.

I'm eternally in awe of not just the beauty that exists in nature but the laws that govern that beauty. The same laws that captivate us with a sprawling sunset (something quite large, also beguile us with the magnificence of a nebula (something mind-boggling huge) or with the inner structure of the cells in a leaf (something quite small). There is a beauty that belies itself as chaos all around us. I work in resin for this very reason. As I pour and manipulate the thick liquid resin, for a moment in time I experience, like a fleeting sunset, the beauty that the laws of physics creates on the canvas, just before it disappears and reinvents itself, settling on the final outcome of the painting. As a former surfer, this reminds me of lying on the board in the water and catching a glimpse of a never to be replicated moment where a small wave peaks and crests and water foams about only to disappear. I want to capture moments tied in their core to nature on a canvas. Resin lets me freeze those moments in time.
