“Valley Variance” created in 2024, is a four-layer silkscreen featuring dark blue flowers
on a raw canvas. The work balances complexity and simplicity. The repeating pattern of
dark blue flowers, set against the raw texture of the canvas, creates a compelling
contrast that is rustically captivating. The meticulous layering and exacting placement of
the flowers adds scale, while the flowers appear almost three-dimensional as they
emerge from the canvas adding depth. This interplay of elements suggests a harmony
between strength and delicacy, evoking a sense of peace and calm.
This artwork invites contemplation, with the dark blue flowers encouraging a meditative
state. The rhythmic repetition of the floral motif serves as a visual mantra, calming the
mind and fostering a connection to the present moment. The raw canvas, with its earthy
tones and rugged texture, grounds the composition, reminding us of nature's enduring
presence. The tranquil imagery resonates with the feelings of peace and contentment
that love can bring, enhancing our sensitivity to beauty and our connection to the world
around us. This piece serves as a reminder to cherish and appreciate the natural beauty
that surrounds us.
