There are experiences that stay in the body long after you've left the place. Huka Falls on New Zealand's North Island is one of them ! Fifteen thousand litres of water thundering through a narrow gorge every second, before dropping into the most extraordinarily vivid turquoise lake below. Standing at the edge of it, you don't just see it. You feel it move through you.
This was the painting that came from that moment and the one that introduced Rachel to resin as a medium. It was an instinctive choice. Resin flows, pools and finds its own path with the same unstoppable logic as water. Its natural sheen captures the light and transparency of the falls in a way no other medium could. And like the falls themselves, once it has moved it cannot be undone.
Working in resin is a race against time. Once mixed, Rachel has just four minutes before it begins to set as hard as rock, and after that it can't be moved or changed. So every resin painting is meticulously planned in advance: the colours, the layers, where each pour will go and how it will flow. What looks free and effortless is actually the result of careful preparation, a steady hand and total concentration.
The result is a painting of extraordinary energy and luminosity. White and grey resin cascades from a flame of gold at the heart of the falls, plunging into the most vivid aquamarine pool below. Tiny fern fronds cling to the rock face. White droplets scatter like spray caught in sunlight.
Every viewing reveals something new. And this painting, like every resin work , is absolutely unique. The precise combination of flow, texture and colour that created it could never be repeated.
Resin and mixed media. Portrait format. Ready to hang.
