Piece description from the artist
I have been painting hovering forms, like umbrellas, for quite some time. They perplex my firmament; I don’t know what it is, and I can’t look away. Perhaps it is the hovering object itself or, more likely, it is the space created beneath the hover. In this painting, I have given a lot of attention to that space and paired it with a blue flower lying face down. The blue glows like a shadow turned inside out.
