2025 Waking in the Dark, + Studies

Waking in the Dark, 2025
Asphalt, epoxy, ceramic, steel

60” x 60” x 2”

This commission was for a covered outdoor space, so we had to use materials that could withstand weather… asphalt cold patch mixed with black epoxy, fired black stoneware tiles with tar black glaze (that the family drew on), mounted in a powder coated matte black steel frame.

The small studies helped me figure out the language of the materials for the larger piece.

Artist's notes

This piece continues the blueprint work that started with 2020’s Rising Tide. Here, I get to explore more cyanotype coloration, and the history of cyanotype as making possible the first blueprints… and add in a map of ancient Rome.

Thanks to Leslie Holt for perfect pitch color mixing, and to Dan Niel for the blueprint book I based the color on.
