Equilibrium

This piece features five panels arranged in various levels. The interesting geometric panel shapes cast shadows on the wall and adds visual depth to the painting. The subject matter has Two Honu petroglyphs (Sea Turtle is Hawaiin is called Honu). The size is 76" wide x 45" high and comes off of the wall 3 inches.

"I am always looking to find a balance in my panel pieces. This is different from symmetry which has exact equal halves on each side. What I am looking for is visual balance which is achieved with heavier (larger) shapes on the bottom and also with colors. Another consideration when working on a panel piece is how much to "cut up" the subject matter with the intersecting geometric panels. Too much space in-between the panels (negative space) and it's hard to recognize what the subject matter is...not enough negative space an the piece can be boring. I am always looking for the equilibrium or balance point when working on a panel piece - the physical balance point and an overall visual balance."
