In this painting, I created a structural illusion of silk drapery. I wanted to play with the dichotomy of something that looked luxurious and alluring out of something cheap like paper towels. The piece captures the eye with its folding dimensionality and changing colors illuminated by the sunlight from the effects of interference paint, an opalescent pigment that reflects the complementary color from different angles. It enhances the sensuality and dreaminess of the "luxurious fabric," but with another look you can see the truth of the material start to show through.
