Metallic Forest Floor

Hundreds of organic, leaf-shaped forms drift across a dark field of iridescent interference dots — gold, olive, chartreuse, copper, and coral scattered like fallen leaves on a forest floor still wet with rain. Each form is built up in thick impasto layers, catching light from every angle and shifting between warm earth tones and cool metallics as you move around the piece. The dot matrix beneath is its own world — thousands of tiny interference paint marks that shimmer silver, blue, and lavender in changing light, giving the surface an almost biological texture, like lichen on stone or cells under a microscope. Painted in 2023 on gallery-quality stretched canvas. One of the most technically complex pieces in the collection — the layering and dot work alone represent dozens of hours of careful mark-making.
