The Healing Painting

To me, these cairn paintings serve as metaphors for what I understand is a spiritual transformation, also known as ascension, that humanity is now undergoing at the individual and collective levels. My erosive method of painting, which I call sculptural flow, symbolizes the process of psychological shadow work and healing necessary for this shift in consciousness. Like cairns out on the trail they represent the beings who serve as wayshowers for those on the path of spiritual awakening. Cairns also reflect my love of the American southwest, as these iconic rock stacks are found throughout trail systems there. I often use a line of paints made from gemstones and minerals for this subject. There's a spiraling, self-referential theme to my cairns: paintings of stones using an erosive technique that reproduces the process that creates stones, using paint made from the stones depicted. Why all the white space in my paintings? I intuited it had something to do with breathing, symbolizing either the inhale or the exhale. Now I think this white space represents that pause between the exhale and the inhale. My paintings encourage you to breathe, and savor that moment of rest. The paints in this particular painting include: indigo, bronzite, garnet, and the red sandstone of Sedona AZ. Note: the bronzite paint has a subtle sparkle that does not come across in the photo. The paper used is Arches 300 lb cold press block. It has a rough texture and slightly off-white natural color. Please note that there are traces of black adhesive around the paper's edges from where the sheet was attached to the block of paper. This edge can be covered in the framing process. Painting is unframed.
