Irreality

You know that the earth is a rotating sphere, but it does not feel that way. You’re standing on a fixed, flat, solid, earth where the sun rises and sets.  Physics, chemistry, psychology – they tell you that your version of what’s ‘real’ does not line up with the facts. This contradiction, this slippage, evokes the feeling or irreality.

Featured here is a painting called “Tendrils” – mixed media on aluminum. 24″ x 24″. Variations in the sheen and iridescence of paint create variations in light and dark from different angles.
