Seaweed Drift Gold is part of the Dune series, inspired by sand dunes and inlets, shells and rockpools. For similar work view - https://bluethumb.com.au/laurie-franklin/series/dune-series
This huge artwork ripples with metallic gold and layers of colours that have been built up in layer upon layer to give a translucence and to create the depth of looking through water into a rockpool with seaweed and rocks. There are areas of raised texture.
It ships rolled in a tube. The full size of the artwork is 162 x 192cm so the final stretched size is 150 x 180cm and is painted to the edge. It can be hung portrait or horizontal.
The colours are black, ochre, tan, terracotta, creamy beige, dark green, light green, olive, black, a grey blue, 2 shades of gold and white.
The areas of gold leaf have been sealed.
