'Moving Over' Encaustic on Cradled Board 12" x 48" x 1.5" $1000 Another painting in the Interstice Series, this work plays with the morphing of edges.  Moving from black to white, the hard and diffused edges allow the viewer to 'move over' the piece from right to left or left to right.  Utilizing the definition of interstice - the space in between - the painting allows for different perceptions; are the spaces in between black or white?  Warm and cool hues are presented within the acromatic bands once again accentuating the contrast.   For purchase information, please contact me at smgibbonsfineartist@gmail.com To see more of my work, please visti my website at http://www.susanmgibbons.com

'Transition' Encaustic on Suede Matboard mounted on Cradled Board 18.5" x 49" x 1.5" $1700 This painting is part of a larger series of works based on the concept of Interstice (the space in between).  The edges of the areas 'in between' are the focal points of the piece with them morphing and changing from black to white and white to black.  Overlays of iridescent highlight the contrasting bands giving a shimmering effect.  The suede itself plays a part in the play of the piece as it expands the paint into semi-circles.   For purchase information, please contact me at smgibbonsfineartist@gmail.com To see more of my work, please visit my website at http://www.susanmgibbons.com
