About this work

This painting shows a dark, cloudy background with a bright, glowing circle in the center. Inside the circle are three small black dots in a row. Thin, light lines form a diamond shape around the whole thing, like a window frame. The glow comes from a mix of paint and beeswax, making the light look soft and fuzzy. The dark background feels heavy, while the circle feels almost like a window to something else. Check out James Turrell for more work with light and space.
