Instruction Manual For Life • 76x48"

$16,000.00

Dimensions: 76”W x 48”H x 3”D. Each of the three totems that make up this unique artwork is 76”W x 12”H x 3”D. Artwork can be hung either horizontally or vertically. This artwork is sold as a set of three pieces.

Medium: This piece is made from dried acrylic paint scraped from my palette, saved for several years, sorted by color, then cast individually in trays with resin. Many hours were spent arranging these the scraps of paint in the trays as well as figuring out pattern of the “color bars”. The pieces were then evened and smoothed by sanding and additional pours of resin. This last step took over three months. The creation of this pieces used many supplies, including over 30 gallons of Art Resin, 200 plastic tray molds, 150 sanding disks, three different types of sanders, five torches, and countless gloves.

Years: 2017-2021

Additional info: The interlocking design and corresponding pieces reference spiral strands of DNA. The title of this piece is a reference to DNA used by Rosalind Franklin, the female scientist who first discovered DNA despite never receiving proper credit for this achievement. My paintings are often unintentionally autobiographical and reflect my life, and this artwork quite literally has my DNA inside of it as Ive touched every piece of paint many times.
