Zygocyte

Acrylic on Wood
New work in the Seeds Series, an acrylic painting on wood. I’ve decided to display this work at a 45 degree angle as it expands from the bottom point outward. Zygocyte is the initial cell formed when a new organism is produced by means of sexual reproduction. I’ve blended the illusion of animal tissue with plant, the start of another season.
