In Spores, Gina Keatley explores the microscopic beginnings of regeneration—the invisible agents of renewal that lie dormant until conditions allow them to bloom. The composition pulses with quiet energy, its algae-colored gestures surfacing like latent signals in a charred field.
Soft abrasions and crater-like markings across the canvas evoke a terrain disrupted by pressure, yet teeming beneath with possibility. Keatley’s restrained palette is interrupted by subtle bursts—tiny spore-like eruptions in burnt orange and deep green—that emerge from a layered, darkened backdrop.
Unlike works that celebrate scale or grandeur, Spores leans into the intimate and the emergent. It speaks to the unseen labor of healing, the biological rhythm of persistence that defies desolation.
A meditation on latent potential, Spores invites reflection on how growth often begins invisibly—through fracture, through quiet, through the smallest spark of life.
