facing embers, the inside of an alchemical retort
This is an acrylic painting on canvas executed within a very short time of experiencing a variety of disasters, hence the title. This is a painting about clarity of intent and consistence of practice under any and all circumstances. It is a view from inside a crucible, a distillation of difficult experiences and their transcendence.
The painting is 30 inches tall and 60 inches wide. This work is catalogued as FACING EMBERS and signed en verso. It was executed in 2005 and shown in Clifford Ross's gallery here in Naples the same year.
