Expectations: Original Light Painting
@thecakelin✨️ My first light art piece!
Expectations, 2021: oil pastels, acrylics, fairy lights, digital
SIZE: 20" x 18" (W x H)
The painting’s floating face disappears in darkness, showing the underneath layer of oil pastels instead. We use shared brain circuitry for self and other awareness, which requires a shifting balance. How do we create and maintain shared expectations for each other in society and in relationships?
Image Description
The painting has white eyes, eyebrows, and hair tendrils floating in a mostly blue and multi-colored background. There's a silver grid network over most of the painting, except the eyes and hair. The grid of the painting has lights behind it.
The white face elements is hidden when lights are off and pops up when the light turns on, like a face floating towards the surface of water.
