Synthesis is the study of a dialogue between two contrasting materials - resin and tar - and their negotiation for space and identity when forced to become a single unified entity. Petal-like cracks and fissures formed through a careful manipulation of the catalysing process of the resin cluster and interact with amorphous invasive bodies of tar, which loom - apparently suspended in space. The effects of the synthesis of these two disparate elements - one black and dense; the other clear and liquid - results in a riot of color and explosive formations that engage on both a macro and micro level.
