“Sky View I”. 2025. Acrylic, yarn. 16″ diameter x 2″ height.

Sky Views is a fiber-based series that explores the emotional and physical qualities of summer heat through color, texture, and elevation. Each piece begins with a circular canvas painted in gradients of warm hues—sunset reds, oranges, and yellows—evoking the burning skies of late afternoon. Rising vertically across this backdrop is a woven pathway, from which soft, cloud-like wool forms emerge.

These airy white fibers break through the heat, like bursts of cloud or breath, introducing moments of contrast—coolness, lightness, even relief. The tension between the intensity of the background and the softness of the sculptural elements captures the paradox of summer: both overwhelming and freeing, stifling and spacious.

This series invites viewers to experience heat not just as temperature, but as sensation and atmosphere—sun on skin, a sudden breeze, a longing to escape upward. Sky Views aligns with Summer Heat‘s themes of color, passion, weather, and emotional complexity, offering a visual meditation on the sky as both sanctuary and stage for transformation.

Circular canvases painted in warm gradients—reds, oranges, yellows—evoke burning skies, while woven pathways and soft wool clouds rise upward, disrupting the heat with breath-like bursts of coolness and contrast.

Balancing intensity with relief, the work reflects summer’s paradox: stifling yet expansive, overwhelming yet freeing. Sky Views offers a sensory meditation on the sky as both sanctuary and stage.

This series reflects on the summer sky as both presence and sensation—expansive, radiant, and at times suffocating. These works capture how heat transforms the sky: how it blurs the horizon, thickens the air, or softens into clouds.

Sky Views explores that tension between weight and release, stillness and movement. It invites the viewer to experience heat not only as temperature, but as atmosphere—emotional, luminous, and ever shifting.
