From the artist: “This piece makes up part of an ongoing series, Fluid, which seeks to capture the ways in which a fluid moment in time might be fixed in the mind. Fluid art is a representation of liminal space, an echo of the moment before the paint dried. I’m interested in the way the momentary motion of liquid paint can be captured and pinned to canvas.”
