Piece description from the artist
I've currently been working within the theme of repetition, which allows me to take on many different genres of picture making. I find myself being drawn to man made vessels as the focus of these objects. The sewing spools was something I saw in my sister in laws work room, and I was just so fascinated with the light and color palette. I also knew that for the picture to have the impact I was looking for, I was going to paint it dramatically larger than life. To almost play up on the fact that these spools are the very starting point of things that end up being much bigger in both scale and importance.
