This wall sculpture was commissioned by two seperate art lovers and collectors who also happened to be an avid scuba divers with a deep love of the ocean. Both individuals wanted an art piece reminiscent of the magic in and under the surface of the sea. This work is composed of small disks of resin mixed with ink, mica dust, paint, and rubbing alcohol, collaged onto 4 layers of plexiglass and housed in a custom-milled poplar and birch box frame. This installation was inspired by the cool marine colors of the sea. The texture, palette, and depth pulls from the ocean’s spume, spray, and mist, as the blue and seafoam swirls of the ocean’s waves continuously bloom and then dissolve into the sand. This creation captures and celebrates the rolling and bobbing of the surf in the churning white tide, rising and falling with the lather, ebbing and flowing amidst the simmering formations of webbed sea suds.
