Acrylic on canvas
36 × 60 inches
Every Paten is a labyrinth but here, it drifts. Set against a deep cobalt blue, the motif floats small and intricate in an expanse that gives nothing back. The ocean does not offer exits. Neither does this. The further in you look, the less certain the way out becomes — and somewhere in that uncertainty is the point.
