This piece started out very differently. The 'pasting' was that of a tight rose, just the inference of the petals, and in rich tones of orange and russet with highlights of gold. And so it was for quite a few months. But there was something about it that wasn't right - it resembled a tunnel of light, but it just wasn't right. I brought it back into my studio and was inspired to place the seemingly random brush strokes over the work. It came alive instantly. I like the' jarriness' of the 'floating' blocks which look like they are in front of the vortex beyond. And hence its name.
There is tactile texture to the underlying vortex on this painting, created with marble dust paste and a number of layers of acrylic paint.
