BREAKTHROUGH is a painting inspired by a
smaller work, a torn-paper collage, and is a
continuation of my CENTER OF THE EARTH
series. I have chosen to work on canvas
using collage and acrylic paint to create a
vivid abstract piece with a limited primary
palette. Note the central flower-like shape
with small stones at its core that directs the
eye to a focal point. Yellow shapes are
irregular and seem to be imposed upon a
field of rugged blues and strong purples.
The white outlines around fragmented areas
suggest a cracking of earth or even ice, with
the petals of a flower breaking through from
the surface beneath.
BREAKTHROUGH is also a metaphor for a
time in my life where I tried to grow and
break through a long period of sadness
after the passing of my husband.
The use of painted layers in my work
represents layers of meaning and memory. I
have attempted to work spontaneously in
this piece, without preplanning, which is a
journey of self discovery as well as a
creative journey.
