‘Burning desire’
14” x 14”
WELCOME TO fire!
THIS ELEMENT OF THE COLLECTION provides us with the chance to use our materials in a way that mirrors the rich textural depth a fiery volcanic environment houses.
INSPIRED BY THE layers and stages of fire; the flames, the ashes, the charredness and brittle burnt wood- We wanted to create a sense of scorched hotness radiating from each piece within this element.
THE MAIN PIECE from our fire section IS ‘burning desire’ A 14” X 14” ARTWORK MOUNTED ONTO (AS WITH ALL OUR PIECES) A HANDCRAFTED WOODEN CANVAS, MADE INHOUSE FROM RECLAIMED, OTHERWISE TO BE SKIPPED TIMBER.
THE TEXTURES THROUGHOUT ARE CREATED solely this time from cardboard and paper forms - with the intention of only using those wasted & unwanted materials relating to wood and the origins of fire.
THE MATERIALS INCLUDE egg boxes, cardboard boxes in various thickness’, wrapping/ tissue paper and hive packaging - FINISHED WITH A LAYERs OF ACRYLIC PAINT draw out the stages and emotions evoked by THIS powerful ELEMENT.
