Bloom Shadow

This piece was a nice departure and evolution. The goal was to make the flanking flower shapes a shadow version of the center shape. It became my favorite piece. I displayed it in my studio and used the image for my business cards. My desire to do more with this design directly led to the creation of the big "Cluster" series (Sky Cluster, Sunset Cluster, Night Cluster). Hard to capture with photos, this piece is highlighted with metallic ink that flashes and winks as your relative position changes. While it's fun to zoom in on all the dots, the true impact of these pieces appears when you get some distance from them and relax your eyes. So step back from your screen or hold your phone at arm's length. You'll find that more shadow and depth jumps out that way. What do you see? Remember? Imagine? Where does the piece take you?
