Purple Agate, 9x12 Original Fluid Acrylic on Gallery‑Wrapped Canvas (Unframed, Finished Edges) – Embrace the Unknown Series – Theresa Henderson (2022)
$0.00
Concentric rings of violet, cream, charcoal, and soft lilac radiate outward like a polished geode sliced clean. Henderson pours successive circles of fluid pigment, each slightly denser than the last, then briefly torches the surface to encourage crisp cellular boundaries. Microscopic silver flakes settle into the darkest bands, mimicking tiny quartz crystals sparkling inside real agate.
These layered halos draw viewers inward, rewarding close inspection with ever finer detail, yet they also pulse outward—echoing vibrations moving through stone, space, and consciousness. By transforming a geological marvel into liquid motion, Henderson invites reflection on time’s improbable artistry: millennia of pressure captured in seconds of paint, permanence revealed through flow.
