Kathleen Jacobs' PLTZR (2024) captures the rhythmic movement of water through delicate, layered brushstrokes that mimic the reflective surface of a vast, undulating sea. Jacobs' process is incredible, with each canvas wrapped around the trunks of trees for weeks or months at a time, absorbing the texture of the bark and the specific climate conditions of the moment. Her use of texture and light invites a meditative engagement with the natural world, evoking the ephemeral qualities of water and its ever-changing form. The painting’s immersive scale and tonal depth transport the viewer into a serene yet dynamic experience of nature’s fluidity.
