In this surrealist NCEA painting, a mirror surface becomes ripples in water: further exploration of frames within frames and the contrast of curving and linear form. Reminiscent of the ‘butterfly effect’, this painting reminds us how a single action can have far reaching consequences, with ripples fanning out from a single fingertip. With strong contrasts between light and dark, and a clear focal point to the image, this is a painting that commands attention.
