Strata is built on raw canvas through nearly 11 layers. Its surface carries the memory of every decision. Nothing has disappeared. Every layer remains, shaping what you see now.
Copper, charcoal and mineral tones catch and release light, shifting between the feel of weathered metal and ancient stone. Sanded areas expose fragments of what came before, while Fire Quartz is worked across the surface, adding actual crystallized earth to the layers and bringing with it an energy associated with grounding, clarity and transformation.
Strata is about what remains. The things we live through don’t simply disappear; they settle into us, layer by layer, becoming part of who we are. And like those layers, this piece doesn’t reveal itself all at once. Light shifts, textures surface, something you hadn’t noticed appears. It asks you to look again, to stay a little longer—and each time, there is something more to find.
