kāne

55.8 cm. x 66 cm. Oil, acrylic, ink, sand, pencil on canvas.

This series of mixed-media paintings on canvas were self-conducted experiments in combining different materials to talk about a given organic subject surrounding water. This painting in particular is about the waters of kāne, though I did not know it until I was done making it. In my culture, there are many forms that the god kāne can embody, including scarlet-red clouds at dawn, deep billowing clouds on the horizon, and many others. This painting includes these forms in an abstracted manner, relying on the unpredictable fluidity of ink and water to begin constructing the image. This work also speaks of the experimentation I've been conducting in terms of mixed-media paintings on canvas.
