Edge, 12x12 Original Fluid Acrylic on Gallery‑Wrapped Canvas (Unframed, Finished Edges) – Embrace the Unknown Series – Theresa Henderson (2022)
$0.00
A razor-thin fault line bisects this canvas, pitting molten crimson against storm-cloud indigo. Theresa Henderson pours each hue from opposite sides, then halts all tilting the instant they collide. Instead of blending, the colors mount a silent standoff; surface tension creates a scalpel-sharp seam that glows with frictional heat. In the lower register, minute champagne cells bead along the divide like sparks skittering off tempered steel.
Yet the piece is more contemplative than confrontational. Step back and you’ll notice soft vapor-gray halos breathing outward from the central rift, diffusing tension and inviting dialogue. Henderson seems to ask: Where do we draw our boundaries, and what happens when difference is held—rather than erased—by mutual gravity? Edge finds poetry in the narrow space where opposites touch but do not surrender.
