About the Item
This yellow and dark blue/green work of art was created on a sheet of black plexiglass. The surface you see is created by rabbeting ( woodworking term) a single continuous groove in the surface. Paint is sprayed on the surface and then sanded away, leaving behind color in the groove. A final red iridescent layer is added to the entire painting.
I was on an early morning flight when I imagined this piece. Looking out I noticed how the tops of clouds were ablaze with the occurring sunrise. Looking down I saw the land was still in darkness and it occurred to me, clouds are the first to witness a sunrise. The thought stuck with me and I made this piece.
