Mountain · Presence

Titled by Basia

Rounded masses stacked one on another and climbing — a green dome of dots, a striped slope in blue and gold, a violet seed held at the centre, a ridge of green waves. Basia calls it Presence: a June piece, less crowded than what came after, built one step at a time.

In Basia's words

One step at a time. No one focuses on how hard the climb was once they are standing on top of the mountain. Even while I was painting this, I wasn't sure I liked it, the whole way through. But I kept telling myself, creativity runs through me. This was my mountain to climb. It is a June piece, before the July intensity arrived. The June pieces were less crowded. I had nothing to prove yet, before ego and curiosity started getting louder.
