they drove home in silence

10x10, mixed media on wood panel

This is the second piece in my emergence series. It is about slowing down and noticing the in-between moments in our lives when time feels suspended.

• they drove home in silence • feels both quiet and filled with tension, like the anticipation of discovering what comes next. Waiting.

For this piece, I covered over an entirely completed painting, then slowly revealed the underlayers with steel wool and letting the painting emerge into focus.
