Fractured Genesis

Mixed Media on Floating Aluminium Panel

Fractured Genesis captures a moment of sublime tension—an abstract convergence of creation and collapse. Executed on a lustrous aluminium surface, this mixed-media composition reflects an intricate interplay between light, shadow, and fluid form. The fragmented, sprawling shapes seem to pulse with a primordial energy, evoking fissures in the earth’s crust or embryonic patterns of a world yet to be defined.

The stark contrast of dark currents against softer, translucent pools creates a visceral sense of movement, where structure and chaos collide. Light refracts across the metallic base, animating the work and shifting perception, as though the piece itself is alive, perpetually becoming.

This is a visual meditation on the duality of beginnings—destruction giving rise to creation, fracture birthing form. The delicate yet powerful gestures hint at natural phenomena, cosmic forces, or cellular structures, drawing viewers into a space of both familiarity and mystery.

Fractured Genesis offers no single interpretation; instead, it invites contemplation of transformation in all its raw beauty. The work is a frozen echo of creation, where order emerges from entropy, and fragments unite to form something both transient and eternal.

Placed upon the wall it garners attention, its stark delicacy transforming with any change in light. 

Twenty per cent of the proceeds from the sale of this piece will be donated to The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity in remembrance of the powerful, vibrant spirit of Emma Catherine Bishop and in continuation of her incredible fundraising for rare and pervasive cancers.
