Ecstacy
Welcome to Ecstacy - another new artwork created as a sister piece to Rapture, revealed last week on this blog. Ecstacy is similarly based on Phyllotaxis and Fibonacci spiral patterns found in nature, as well as Gestalt theories of visual perception. The rhythmic spiral patterns and saccadic eye movements made as the viewer reads this image are once again intended to evoke heightened emotional, transcendent states. Ecstacy has again been created to elicit a sense of movement through the patterning and placement of the
spots, and careful positioning of the butterflies which lead your eyes around
the piece. As with Rapture,
each and every spot in the base matrix was patiently and individually
positioned by being glued into place with the aid of a pair of fine tweezers. The lustrous gold/silver leaf spots
in the base matrix appear to flicker and shimmer as the eyes travel across their surface
and they reflect the light. I'm loving the high octane opulence and glamour of the decadent Art Deco era which is conjured up in this piece. Both Ecstacy and Rapture work so well as either stand alone pieces, or displayed together as a complementary pair. Ecstacy measures 50cm x 50cm in an ash wood box frame and is available in gold, silver and copper-leaf.
