“Golden Meridian” rejects the horizon line in favor of the celestial line. The work visualizes the meridian – an imaginary arc passing from north to south – as a physical force of molten pigment. Striations of amber and ochre flow across the field like heat waves, disrupting the viewer’s sense of scale. Is this a landscape, a map, or the internal glow of a dying star? The painting asks us to look up, directly into the eye of the day, unblinking.
