Summit (2024 Spring Sessions, #9/9)
Original artwork, 22” x 30” mixed media on paper, unframed
The piece feels like a journey toward grounding, a steadying after the intensity of the previous works. The process used to make the background—crumpling, spraypainting, then ironing the paper—created a tension between chaos and order, which echoes the confident yet deliberate gestures we used to bring the abstracted landscape to life. The elements of mountains, sun, and tree trunk emerge, but not as fixed forms; they are impressions, fleeting but solid. By the time we reached this final piece, we had settled into the rhythm of the project, with a shared understanding that allowed us to embrace the moment with calm confidence. The result is a piece that holds both stability and fluidity, a serene landscape of creative confidence.
