acrylic and metallic paint on canvas
36 x 36
37 x 37
More than seven layers of transparent paint create the background upon which opaque black acrylic paint was used to inscribe research questions copied from an ocean scientist’s handwritten notebook. Several more transparent layers were added over the writing. Silver metallic paint was then used to define the fluid shapes suggesting ocean water.
Though specifically about ocean research, the painting celebrates the tremendous growth in all the scientific research that has taken place over the past century, and the significant ways that women now take on leadership roles in all the sciences.
