Verdant Drift (2017 — Acrylic with knives on black-gessoed canvas board, 9 x 3 in.) The picture shows the piece on my office desk in my studio. I created this miniature during a stretch in 2017 when I was experimenting with interference acrylics over a deep black ground. Working with knives forced me into a kind of immediacy—no hesitations, no second-guessing. Just movement, light, and instinct. What I love about these black-ground pieces is the way the colour almost behaves like a signal. It glows, disappears, then reappears as you move past it. Back when I released the full group of thirty, most of them were bought by younger collectors—people who loved bold contemporary work and who already lived with black paintings on their walls. Several told me they were giving these minis as gifts, small gestures of meaning during the holiday season. I think that’s part of the magic of miniatures. They’re intimate. They feel like a moment someone can hold in their hand before placing it into their home. Even now, seven years later, this piece reminds me of how much I enjoy stepping outside my usual language and letting experimentation guide me. It comes with a miniature easel
