This 16"x20" Oils, Acrylics on Canvas painting by Stephen Stocklin features a haunting composition of suspended organic forms connected by delicate vertical lines, creating the impression of hanging objects or weighted thoughts. The palette is muted and earthy—rust browns, charcoal blacks, dusty mauves, and soft grays—punctuated by stark white shapes that emerge like light through fog. The upper portion shows dark masses tethered to thin lines descending from above, while the lower section dissolves into atmospheric washes with hints of pale pink and sage green. The overall effect is both delicate and somber, with a dreamlike quality to the floating forms.
The painting evokes the things we carry—burdens, memories, and attachments suspended in the mind, each connected by invisible threads to their origins. The white spaces suggest moments of release or clarity breaking through, reminding us that even our heaviest loads can lighten, that what weighs us down also tethers us to our history and keeps us grounded in who we are.
