Because fluorescence is a process where light of high-energy photons temporarily ‘excites’ the electrons of a molecule - I tried to recreate the happy ‘excitement’ I felt when I first saw the fluorescence. When I painted this, I was testing out what some of the materials could do at the same time. So, I conveyed the production of pretty light in a watery floating way, together with bright pops of fluorescent paint. As I slowly built up the layers, the wee creatures (seahorse, dragonfly \u0026amp; fish) appeared. Then came the watery sea. I love the sense of flowing movement in the layers.
