Tidal Interference

Description:

Tidal Interference explores the space between movement and interruption, where flowing forms are gently disrupted by glowing accents of color. Layers of teal, muted earth tones, and soft neutrals swirl together, creating a sense of depth and quiet motion. Subtle variations in texture and tone emerge throughout the piece, drawing the eye inward and inviting closer inspection.

Part of the Interruptions collection, tidal interference reflects a shift in process—introducing deliberate breaks within the fluid acrylic pour. Fluorescent orange accents move through the composition like signals, cutting across the softer layers beneath and revealing moments of contrast and glow. These interruptions add structure without overpowering the natural flow of the paint, allowing the piece to feel both controlled and organic.

The layered glow between forms gives the work a living quality, changing with light and perspective and offering something new with each view.
