The aura is an electromagnetic energy field that is the bridge between our spiritual and physical body. In Auric Field: Aqua Mint, Lauren Baker renders that unseen energy as pure light: a mint-green neon form radiates from a brilliant white centre, its glowing edges unfolding into four triangular panels that pulse outward like waves of calm. The tones of aquamarine are associated in spiritual realms with cleansing energy, and as with the waves of the ocean, also trusting and letting go. The shades of Blue Jade are represented as a talisman of peace and restoring equilibrium. Hand-embellished diamond dust on the canvas catches the light so the piece shimmers as you move around it, its glow shifting between mint, aqua and deep teal. At 100 x 100cm it makes a serene yet commanding statement: the visual equivalent of a deep breath. It pairs beautifully with the other Auric Field colourways, each tuned to a different energy.
