Playing with Fire I by Louise Brook (2024) is part of a dramatic trio of works inspired by the volcanic eruption in Iceland’s Reykjanes peninsula in May 2024. The spectacular, vivid images beamed around the world demonstrated the startling yet beautiful ferocity of this natural geological event, capturing the artist’s imagination and compelling her artistic response to combine the power of nature with the power of art in this dramatic mixed media collection. The composition and bold design of this original mixed media work is striking from a distance, while closer inspection reveals exciting nuances delivered through a rich textural surface full of hidden details and depth.
