"Aquarius" is 48x87", aluminum panel.  It's not a painting.  The water shapes were created with a large metal grinder. 

This piece is based entirely on reflection.  It changes and breathes as you walk past it. 

Water has long been a favorite subject for me (like so many artists) because of its movement and line.  I've been wanting to experiment with painting water on metal to play with that literal reflectivity of the material.  My original plan for this piece was to grind in some shapes, then paint the water on top, then hit it with the grinder again for highlights.  However, as I started building the water content just with the grinder, the simplicity of that and the sparkly results grew more and more appealing.  Ultimately the consensus from me and my colleagues was to let it be all about the throw of light and not add paint.  Sadly, it doesn't photograph all that well, but you get the idea.
