The abstract “space pattern” is a staple of my work over the last decade. The works components are very much rooted in specific symmetry, vectors, patterns, ideas, and colors specific to the American Southwest. The piece is part of a larger “ongoing” series called Black Cowboy, from 2022 exploring the true stories of a more diverse ”Wild West” from history that is not necessarily reflected in media and pop culture. This collection bridges abstract patterns, and curvaceous shapes in concert with vector shapes that can mirror the softness of hardness of nature.

The work has a 3/4 inch recess in the interior, with the core leaf shape finished in resin. It’s layered with three coats painted on each layer, giving some of the shapes a slight shadow and visual depth.
