I developed the Albedo Technique to explore the relationship of the sacred to everyday life. Albedo (Al-bay-doe) is Latin for white or whitening and is a step in the alchemical process at which spiritual gold, or Heaven and enlightenment are attained. Using white paint on white fabric, the images are invisible, but when lit with ultraviolet black-light, the white paint appears dark against an ethereally glowing blue ground Although these works are best viewed in a dark space, they are effective in any light condition. Without blacklight they appear as minimalist white on white paintings. With mixed light, they become a peacock's tail of warm and cool hues. All paintings come with a light box frame and blacklights. |
