Flight of Icarus

repurposed acrylic latex paint on canvas

18" x 18"  

2010 

"Repurposed acrylic latex is house paint that would otherwise go to waste, and that I rescue from reject shelves before it is sent to landfills.  The colors of Flight of Icarus are vivid, and represent an abstract rendering of flight -- the ascension and descension of Icarus."

"Passage was created using organic stains, natural plant dyes, and earth pigments in a soy milk binder.  It has a subdued palette similar to other natural objects, and represents a passageway."
