Distant Lava Stream 1
-
Description
A cloud of grey ash causes the destruction of sky and ground to merge into a single terrifying haze. Gradually, a sliver of red lava begins to emerge in the distance, causing panic but also bringing comfort. The Distant Lava series was created using the same textured oil paint consistency and technique. Muller states: “I applied a heavy layer of textured oil paint and then covered it with a second layer in a different tone to create a subtle contrast. Finally, a thin red line was applied and tediously lifted from the canvas to create a raised, irregular texture to divide the grey background as the stream of lava divides the volcanic ash.”
