"Rosette Nebula: Blooming Darkness" is an exquisite foray into the stars where Tiffani captures the ethereal essence of celestial gardens. Through a meticulous layering technique, this artwork encapsulates the expansive grandeur of the Rosette Nebula. The resin’s depth showcases swirling cosmic clouds, akin to petals unfurling in a celestial bloom. Shift it in different light and it reveals a vivid tapestry of colors and textures, akin to a cosmic dance. Yet as the 'Blooming Darkness' in the title alludes to, look for hidden layers and shadows, that beckon the viewer into its interstellar mysteries. This piece isn’t just an artwork, but a young star encapsulated, a reminder of the universe's boundless beauty and enigma. Sides: Charcoal Stained and rubbed wood that sits in juxtaposition to domed resin, creating an infinity pool effect.
I'm eternally in awe of not just the beauty that exists in nature but the laws that govern that beauty. The same laws that captivate us with a sprawling sunset (something quite large, also beguile us with the magnificence of a nebula (something mind-boggling huge) or with the inner structure of the cells in a leaf (something quite small). There is a beauty that belies itself as chaos all around us. I work in resin for this very reason. As I pour and manipulate the thick liquid resin, for a moment in time I experience, like a fleeting sunset, the beauty that the laws of physics creates on the canvas, just before it disappears and reinvents itself, settling on the final outcome of the painting. As a former surfer, this reminds me of lying on the board in the water and catching a glimpse of a never to be replicated moment where a small wave peaks and crests and water foams about only to disappear. I want to capture moments tied in their core to nature on a canvas. Resin lets me freeze those moments in time.
