"Primeval Dance of Color and Texture" is a vibrant and dynamic composition measuring 12" x 14". Created using gouache on 100% cotton handmade paper, the artwork features concentric rings in earthy tones of brown, orange, yellow, blue, and green. These rings form an abstract, woodcut-like pattern, evoking a sense of movement and depth.

Overlaying the rings are two detailed green fern leaves, which add a natural dimension to the piece. The leaves are depicted with intricate brush strokes, enhancing the textural contrast against the circular background, and introduce a harmonious balance between the abstract and organic elements.

The inspiration for this artwork stemmed from the natural beauty and complexity of a photograph of Turkey Tail Fungus and a fern leaf. The piece is an abstract interpretation of the dense structure and vibrant coloration of the fungi, set against the ethereal presence of the fern. This contrast captures the essence of the primeval forest, with color and texture taking a lead role in this expressionistic interpretation.
