Foiled Limes... part of an ongoing tin
foil series. The
foil can be smooth, rippled, crinkled or creased, creating whatever special affect I desire. It feels I am designing a scene on a sound stage for a movie... Once the objects are arranged to my satisfaction on the reflective surface, the lighting is strategically positioned to shine on a section creating interesting patterns on the foil. Next using my 'viewer' (which is cut in corresponding dimensions to my canvas size) I can move my eye around the scene until I locate a section or angle that creates a good composition. The 'viewer' (or camera lens) is my window into a fantasy world... a world where
lime wedges can become green boats floating on a calm or stormy silver sea with the morning mist trailing behind.
As I have said before, we are only limited by our imaginations... what do you see?
SOLD
