Blazing Sun began not with a plan, but with a gesture. At 60 inches by 60 inches, this oil on canvas piece became a wide, open field where movement and stillness could meet.

Using twine dipped in oil, I allowed the painting to evolve through a series of spontaneous arcs and drags—letting the line find its own path across the wet surface. This method of painting is an act of surrender: I guide, but I do not control. The twine responds to tension, gravity, and the unseen currents moving through the space. The result is a luminous center—bright, almost blinding—surrounded by soft, swirling grays that ripple outward like waves of heat or memory. The delicate, irregular black ring around the core feels almost like a scar, or a signature left behind by the twine itself. It’s imperfect by nature, and that imperfection holds the painting’s life.

Blazing Sun isn’t about depicting the sun literally. It’s about the sensation of standing before something vast, something that radiates intensity and quiet in equal measure. The piece holds both expansion and containment—a force that pulls you inward while releasing energy outward in silent pulses. Blazing Sun: A Meditation in EmergenceWorking with twine on this scale reminded me again that true emergence cannot be forced. It’s a dialogue, not a declaration. Blazing Sun is the record of that dialogue: the material finding its form, the process leaving its own trace, the mystery refusing to be solved.

It invites the viewer to linger at the threshold between presence and disappearance—to feel the warmth, the pull, the still-burning echo of something both near and beyond.
