Gathering of the Elements forms a key part of a five-work series examining nature’s ceaseless generation of variation and flux. In this piece, layered copper sheeting, wax encaustic, and acrylic fields interact through chemical change, heat, and chance-driven processes. Patinas bloom unpredictably across the surface, creating shifting zones of colour and texture that echo organic growth and erosion.Structured divisions—grids, panels, and geometric markers—intersect with these fluid transformations, suggesting the continual negotiation between order and instability.
