Painting on the Edge (POTE) 2020
Susan Haigh, Connected
33" x 38", acrylic on canvas, Sold
After contemplating this hexagonal canvas, I decided to create a flower image that wrapped the canvas with ribbon like petals which flowed over the edges and connected to another flower. I also wanted to showcase the perfect golden ratio or Fibonacci symmetry of a sunflower's centre. Like us, the slightly curved stalks aim to connect with heaven and earth but could easily either spin out of control or float blissfully in space.
