Bridging Gaps is a wall-mounted painting/sculpture that merges abstraction, structure, and symbolism into a single, immersive work. A fractured bridge form emerges from, and partially dissolves back into, the painted surface, blurring the boundary between image and object. The long horizontal panel is saturated with layered purples, blues, magentas, and electric greens, its dense, gestural marks suggesting currents of movement, memory, and lived experience. The bridge appears unstable yet luminous, as if continuously forming and eroding within this emotional landscape.
Branch-like vertical elements, painted a vivid red, pierce through the panel and extend into real space. These act as both supports and markers, defining two ends that are visibly separated yet insistently linked. Above, thin branches arc across the wall, sketching a fragile architectural line; an implied crossing that exists more as intention than certainty.
Below the painted surface, suspended nets stretch between the red uprights. Within the lower webbing, a small canoe paddle is caught, evoking travel, effort, and human agency interrupted mid-journey. The upper net functions as a connective tissue, simultaneously binding the two ends of the bridge and revealing its vulnerability. It holds, entangles, and connects; suggesting that passage is possible, but never without risk or negotiation.
For collectors, Bridging Gaps offers a materially rich and conceptually resonant work that rewards close viewing. Shifting light activates the surfaces and suspended elements, while the imagery speaks to contemporary experiences of separation, repair, and the fragile systems we build to reach one another. It is a statement piece that carries both visual intensity and quiet, poetic tension.
