Riptide Pulse

18" x 18" | Cyanotype with Ink and Gold Leaf on Cradled Panel

Swirls of deep indigo and teal churn like an unseen current pulling beneath the surface. Accents of gold leaf glint like fractured sunlight, tracing the rhythm of a riptide in motion. Riptide Pulse captures the quiet power of movement—fluid, instinctual, and just below the edge of awareness.

Crafted through an intuitive cyanotype process using fluid ink, salt, and water, this piece developed in dialogue with natural light and chance. Each mark, bloom, and streak was shaped by evaporation, reaction, and time — impossible to plan, impossible to replicate.
