Golden Threshold
A glowing gold crescent rises over soft, cloud-like forms of white and silver, framed by curtains of crimson and a heavily textured band of burnt orange. It feels like the moment just before dawn, when light starts to break through. A dramatic statement piece for a living room or above a console.
Golden Threshold is about the instant when something new becomes possible. The crescent is painted in several translucent layers of gold, so it seems to glow from within rather than sit on the surface. Around it, the crimson is laid on in long, vertical pulls, like stage curtains drawing back, while the band of burnt orange at the base is built up thickly with a palette knife so it catches raking light.
