The Kissing Of The Sun And The Moon begins from the artist's founding proposition for the Auric Field series: all matter in existence radiates an electromagnetic, or auric, field. An aura is the unseen spiritual energy field that surrounds all living things; your aura is an extension of you, the energy field that surrounds your body. Here that idea is staged as a celestial meeting: sun and moon, day's warmth and night's cool, leaning into one another until their fields touch. The canvas carries the encounter in its colour. Beginning with a soft, dusty blue backdrop, the colours gently transition into pinks and oranges before returning to blue, drawing the eye toward a luminous white circle at the centre, a focal point adorned with sparkling diamond dust that evokes the shimmering energy of the cosmos. The gradient reads as two temperatures meeting: the warm pinks and oranges of the sun's side passing through the neutral point where the cool blues of the moon's side take over, the luminous white circle at their meeting the kiss itself, the shared light of two bodies in each other's fields. Hand-applied diamond dust gives the whole surface its shimmer, so the auric field is not only depicted but performed: the work sparkles as you move, an energy field responding to your presence. Ink with hand-embellished diamond dust on fine canvas, in a white box tray frame. 100 x 100 cm unframed; 105.5 x 105.5 x 4 cm framed. Signed and numbered from an edition of 10. £4,500.
