This painting is a part of a series by the artist that explores how light is produced within biological processes in nature. In particular, these works examine phosphorous moss, which photosynthesizes from reflected light in dark spaces such as caves, emitting a luminous glow. In this composition, the artist considers how these adaptations toward types of light produce an ethereal effect comparable to the impact of a painting on a viewer—a fragile yet powerful feeling of potential. The palette the artist used for this painting emerged gradually, adjusted throughout the intuitive process of addition and subtraction. Mollett used the cloudy light of pale lilacs and grays to contrast with the vividness of greens—a melding of the lush with a sour severeness. The interior space was created through a constant reframing of passage, suggesting a proximity to a subject or immersion within a place.

Mollett's paintings frequently feature forms that verge on being recognizable—thresholds that open and then fold in on themselves as the material body dissolves and structures liquefy. The artist's works often depict an absorbing encounter with a non-human being. Mollett researches their mythology, geology and biology, which often become metaphors that inform aspects of each painting’s layers. The artist's work examines how the surface of a painting can be a place to experience an inner reality. In each composition, Mollett looks carefully at how motion and direction in each area react and relate to one another. By questioning what’s needed for the essence to remain, each work opens up new possibilities for an image. The resulting shifting passages portray a version of consciousness that alternates between continuous flow and sudden thoughts—a fragmented interior space full of collages of memory and anticipation for the future.
