In this painting: the concept, which poses a higher thought of thinking.
A metacognition. Creating metaphor like islands, from randomly drawn art board cut-outs in relief form, laminated to the canvas (art board); living on a sea of blue.
The cut-out island forms, try to divorce themselves from the sliced zinc shapes, which reflect nuances of light.
(Array of glittering zinc strips, lit to cause a deliberate distraction in the composition).
