Peer through an aperture of space and time out from nebulaic layers to the vastness of space. Tiffani created the ZEALLA NEBULA in the spirit of wondrous space exploration unfolding in our time. The nebulae coming out the James Webb infrared telescope show what awaits us out there. In an infinite universe, there is a good chance a nebula very much like this one exists. As you move around in different lighting environments, you see new details of this painting breathe life into the experience in a holographic way that Tiffani layers resin. Size: 12" x 36" Sides: Oregon Poplar wood with Japanese style, "Shou Sugi Ban" effect* Materials: UV-Resistant, eco-friendly tinted epoxy resin, multilayered for extraordinary depth *Sides: Originating in 18th century Japan, shou sugi ban is a particularly striking method of preserving wood by charring it with fire. Tiffani captures the look of this ancient tradition by sanding and staining the sides charcoal and rubbing it in to the wood grain lea
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.
