Meteorite Auric Field draws its inspiration from 'Oumuamua, the first confirmed interstellar object ever observed passing through our solar system, and explores the aura as the energetic bridge between the physical and spiritual self, a protective, radiant field that surrounds and connects us. Where the series' neon version pairs that idea with light, this rendering keeps the field silent: ink on fine canvas, hand-embellished with diamond dust, so the shimmer comes from crystal rather than from tubes. The canvas shimmers with celestial energy, its shades of deep purple and blue evoking the vibrational frequencies of the auric field, symbolising harmony, cosmic connection and the quiet power of positive energy. The work invites the viewer to sense the unseen, to feel the resonance between self and universe: a meteorite's arrival held inside an aura's embrace, matter and field in one image. Without the neon, the piece reads more contemplatively than its luminous sibling, closer to a deep-sky photograph than an installation, its sparkle revealing itself as the viewer moves, and it pairs naturally beside the Oumuamua neon as the same idea in two states, lit and unlit.Ink with hand-embellished diamond dust on fine canvas, in a box tray frame. 101.5 x 101.5 cm unframed; 105.5 x 105.5 x 4 cm framed. Signed and numbered from an edition of 6. £4,500.
