Killian Reign Obenauf, Ascencion; Descencion
Mixed-media (gouache, colored pencil, gel pen, stickers) on canvas paper, 11 x 14 in., 2020
This piece uses high chroma color that opens a door to an interior dreamscape with the theme of isolation. Objects inside are nothing and everything that they seem to be. Access to the outside world is hosted by a computer and time only exists how we remember it. The moon descends while the sun ascends, symbolizing that we must ascend while holding the emotional weight that descends upon us.
