Tethered Balance

Description

Tethered Balance is a striking mixed media piece created on a 5×7 base, framed in a simple black 5×7 picture frame that enhances its bold yet elegant composition. This artwork combines gel-printed backgrounds with intricate depictions of two single column ties, positioned side by side and crafted to evoke both strength and intimacy.

The background is a lush and dynamic mix of golds, purples, and blues, layered densely using gel-printing techniques. This creates a textured and immersive environment for the subject, enhancing its depth and visual richness. The interplay of these vibrant colors adds a sense of elegance and mystery, while the layered effect invites viewers to explore the intricacies of the composition.

The rope cuffs, rendered with precision, serve as the focal point of the piece. They are thoughtfully placed and crafted to symbolize both connection and restraint, aligning with the themes of the Constructed Constraint series. The juxtaposition of the soft rope textures against the vivid, textured background creates a compelling visual and thematic contrast.

Framed in a simple black 5×7 frame, this presentation emphasizes the artwork’s intimate scale while adding a polished, modern touch. This piece is a profound addition to any collection that celebrates nuanced themes of connection, intimacy, and personal narratives.
