This Friday is the opening of the Matariki Exhibition at Kumeu Art Centre. I have a painting in this show called “Shimmer” . It is pictured above. It is 500 x 500mm mixed media on a wooden panel. I really enjoyed the meditative process of making this work. There were many layers of pigment in a range of colours. You can see them when you look at it up close, and from a distance they kind of merge together to make a slate grey. I love to work with this play of colour and how we perceive colour combinations. The top layer is of little tiny horizontal lines to create a watery, wavey effect, an illusion of movement from the repetition of lines to evoke the idea of celestial bodies and the ever changing world we live in.
