“What once was, what could’ve been”

Major: Creative Technologies
Genre/Medium: Acrylic paint
About the work: This painting explores what one was, and what could have been, of the Psyche asteroid. As the asteroid travels around the sun, different landscapes and textures project from the surface, showing a hint at what the asteroid might have looked like in its planetesimal phase, or what it could have looked like if it formed into a full planet. My piece was painted with a focus on movement, fantasy, and texture. Although acrylic is not my primary medium, it was fun using the material elements of paint to express gestures, textures, and forms in this abstract piece.
