"Created during an artist workshop in California’s Central Valley, these three 12x12 mixed media pieces explore the passage of time through layered textures and suggestive imagery. The peeling layers and dark golden hues symbolize the slow erosion and wear that time leaves behind. Beneath the surface, intaglio prints of bees emerge, subtly representing the time and dedication required to build their hives. The use of rust applied to paper, paired with golden yellow acrylic paint, captures the worn beauty of weathered surfaces, evoking a sense of age and transformation. Pentimento plays a key role, as traces of the artistic process remain visible, enriching the narrative of time embedded in each piece."
