Deep See

6 x 4 foot (72 x 48") Original mixed media painting  by Jaelah Kuehmichel 
Used dental floss, pink latex rubber, paper hole punches, collage + acrylic paint on repurposed wood panel
2019
 
A large whimsical painting inspired by the organic hypnotizing flow of the wood's natural grain. It's expansive feeling gives a sense of wide open space - but there seems to be more than one version of this upside-down landscape spliced together. The wood panel is sturdy and grounding with a warm honey hue and a stripe of bright orange color glowing on all sides of the panel, a sharp pop that compliments the creamy opaque turquoise.
 
No frame is needed for this painting. It hangs directly on the wall with 2 screws. It's been completely sealed and is easy to dust and clean.
