This work was inspired by a poem by Yogananda titled 'Samadhi'. The title comes from the line "From joy I came, for joy I live, in sacred joy I melt." The idea was to create a melting/floating landscape of energy moving freely across the canvas. If it evokes birds, insects or petals carried on the wind then I am happy. Or if the viewer feels they are looking at the movement of atoms then that too is a valid response. I aim to find the sublime in the most humble of nature's forms. There are many asemic marks, layers of glazes of thin oil paint and some impasto areas. My main influences are Turner, Bosch, Monet and Chu Teh Chun. Signed verso.
