Geode Melt, 2026

Sadie Weis  

Weis plays with the reality of what a painting is and what a silkscreen can be, as she creates her own unique hybrid method of painting and silkscreen printmaking (typically done in simulated multiple editions) through the process of printing through a blank silkscreen, deemed 'Polymonotype', creating a multi-layered fusion of these aspects. These works portray various talismans and imagery based on vivid dreams of the artist.

This abstract composition merges scientific inquiry with imaginative expression. The artwork evokes the organic structure of a geode or a celestial vortex. Swirling layers of pigment ink and neon create a sense of fluid motion. A deep blue core anchors the piece. This center draws the eye into a dense, cosmic void. Around it, soft pinks and pale greens blend into vivid oranges and deep purples. The application of screen print and crystals adds a tactile dimension. These materials reflect light to simulate the shimmering quality of minerals. The artist draws inspiration from cosmography and the mysteries of dark matter. This conceptual approach transforms a flat surface into a multidimensional exploration of space. The circular form suggests a planetary body or a microscopic cell. It captures a moment of transformation where solid matter seems to liquefy. The bright periphery contrasts with the shadowed center. This tension emphasizes the balance between light and void. The final result is a luminous study of nature's hidden geometries.
