Between Earth and Sky

This painting began as an entirely abstract composition using wavy cut masking tape to make the horizontal layers. I then decided to add a narrative to the work by adding a set of imagery symbolising the universe from the centre of the earth at the bottom to the beginning of space and time at the top. We exist in a fragile layer in the middle with deep time above and below.
