Monolith

Monolith

Medium: Acrylic On Paper
Size: 18×18

I’m always fascinated by gigantic boulders. What geological event composed them to mimic whale-like forms surfacing from the ocean? “Monolith,” on Sears Island in Maine, was surrounded by mushy, ochre-colored seaweed and kelp and thousands and thousands of tiny barnacles as the tide receded. The light was cool and the ocean was calm. The stage was set and the monolith surfaced to pose for me.
