"Indigo flow" is a large-scale painting that allowed the artist to experiment with the application of color and express a sense of depth and movement.
Scale and Color: This is another large painting that, as the name suggests, heavily features the color indigo or deep blues.
Technique: The artist describes being interested in the fluidity of the paint and experimented with a looser application, using techniques like pouring and letting the paint run before layering and refining the shapes. The artist initially wrote a poem with a silver ink gel paint, which is now hidden beneath a new layer of paint. The resulting artwork is a mysterious palimpsest.
Effect: The goal was to give the paint a quality of transparency and to create a feeling of depth.
Inspiration and Context
The piece belongs to a series of works influenced by a trip to New Zealand, where the artist was impacted by the fragility of the Earth, the transformation of the land, and the intensity of indigenous art.
This experience, coupled with thoughts of vulnerability, inspired a set of five large canvases, after which she continued with smaller paintings like "Blue Bloom." The five large scale paintings are the truly original ones. “Indigo Flow 3” differs from the other 4, by its depth and volume.
