Bardo Triangle
A mesmerizing field of intricate, layered patterns unfolds across the canvas, weaving together organic and geometric motifs in rich, jewel-toned hues. Taaffe draws on a vast vocabulary of decorative and symbolic forms, merging influences from Islamic tilework, natural history, and ancient ornamentation into a luminous, densely textured composition. The work evokes a liminal, otherworldly space — suggested by its title's reference to the Tibetan concept of an intermediate realm — inviting the viewer into a state of meditative contemplation.
