"Crossroads," original art, 36" x 48"

The rich iron oxide patina of this piece is created using rusty metal placed on wet canvas to create interesting marks. Iron is a grounding element, and the very core of our planet is composed of molten iron. The rebar art keeps us connected to the Earth plane, has a grounding influence, and evokes a sense of safety, security, stability and well-being. Rebar is a steel building material used to reinforce concrete. I place the rebar rods on wet canvas and allow them to rust. Developed in layers, the rebar is used to build an intricate web of interlaced lines creating a beautiful patina of texture and depth. Sustainability is an important part of my artistic practice, and this piece was created using natural materials -- iron oxide and natural dye on cotton canvas. 36" x 48" original painting iron oxide and natural dye on canvas gallery wrap canvas, 1-1/2 inches deep with painted sides signed by the artist on the back wired and ready to hang FedEx shipping within the US contact me for an international shipping quote artwork guarantee - if you don't love it, return it What People Are Saying "Your painting looks so stunning on my wall, I cannot believe it!!!"
