Amber, Cape Town, 17.3.2025
I returned to the park where this log rests four times over three days to observe how light at the different times of day falling in and around the scene altered the relationship of components(log, earth, resin, background, striated wood, shadows, highlights) to each other.
Hopefully, the decisions emphasise the resin's unusual grid pattern and use light, shade, hues, and planes to keep the brain asking questions about depth, materiality and decay.
The amber has dripped slowly in two planes forming the criss-cross pattern. The rings of the log and the amber solidifying are two time-frames superimposed.
