A stunning wall clock with rich amber and tortoiseshell patterns, "Primary Smoke" by Kim Mullis as Wilderness Bodies exhibits a captivating surface that resembles swirling clouds of golden smoke frozen in translucent layers. This striking piece features layered acrylic with tinted epoxy inlay that creates fantastic depth and luminous warmth, with rich amber, burnt orange, and deep brown tones flowing across the surface like liquid fire. The warm, organic background provides a stunning canvas for the scattered geometric symbols in vibrant blue, red, green, yellow, and white that appear to float within the smoky depths, while the contrasting clock hands add crisp definition to this mesmerizing composition.
Mullis's Wilderness Bodies practice showcases her innovative approach to material experimentation, using sophisticated acrylic layering techniques with tinted epoxy to evoke both natural beauty and industrial precision. The interplay between the warm, fluid background and the bold geometric symbols creates a compelling visual tension that transforms functional timekeeping into sculptural art, celebrating the artist's ability to capture the ephemeral beauty of smoke and flame in permanent form.
