This body of work, composed of rich color, is held through soft forms and bleeding paint. Created through a time of familial loss and a new plane of existence realized in conjunction with new beginnings, these paintings hold a sense of release and invitation through abstract movement and outlines. Quiet, stormy feelings of grief are overpowered by favorite and hopeful hues that represent an undeniable need to follow a carved life path. These works show the importance and care for meaningful color that Culver loves to explore through the response of gut feelings. Exploring experimental processes of how the pouring and brushing of paint can be its own tool leads to composition led by color.
