Atmospheric Whales

Oil on Handwoven Linen · 2014

Whales coming down by parachute through a gold-leaf sky, an eye-sun watching from above. They appear again and again in my work, these atmospheric whales — the biggest body the planet ever made, handed the gentlest possible landing. Five by seven inches of the largest thing I know.

5 by 7 inches. Oil on Handloom Linen. 24kt gold Leaf. 2014.

Oil painting with gold leaf on linen depicting three stylized whale-like creatures with parachute canopies floating against a textured gold and terracotta background, with a crescent eye motif in the upper right.
