Valdez 1

By Artist Crystal Copeland

Regular price $188.00


/

The work intentionally evokes the aftermath of an oil spill: an initial, glossy film spreading across waves and a slower, more insidious dispersal into the water column and shoreline. Oil forms a surface slick that blocks light and coats feathers and fur, undermining insulation and buoyancy for birds and mammals. Over time, lighter fractions evaporate while heavier residues persist as tarballs or sink into sediments, creating long‑lasting contamination. scienceinsights.org

In Valdez the bubble‑like cells and vertical streaks suggest both immediate smothering and the slow mixing of hydrocarbons into ecosystems—effects that can damage fish, larvae, and benthic communities and make seafood unsafe to eat. The painting’s descent from dense, dark patterns to lighter washes mirrors how acute surface damage gives way to chronic, often invisible ecological stress. What appears as a momentary stain can become a generational wound.

Valdez 1 is a 12”X12” painting, in a handmade wood frame painted black.
