Shibori Shimmer – Plum - small Mixed Media Abstract in Plum, Gold & Cream

‘Shibori Shimmer – Plum’ is a captivating small-scale mixed media artwork by Jennifer Bell, combining recycled paper, acrylic paint, and intricate dot work to create a luminous, tactile surface. Inspired by the organic flow of traditional shibori dyeing techniques, the piece captures the sense of cascading movement and repetition through layered circular forms in deep plum, soft cream, and shimmering gold.

Despite its modest size, this work holds a strong presence, with a richness in texture and rhythm that draws the eye. The repeating dots and hand-painted circles echo natural dye dispersions, giving the surface a flowing, almost fabric-like quality. The subtle metallic highlights catch the light beautifully, adding dimension and quiet drama.

This piece exemplifies Jennifer Bell’s passion for pattern, surface, and the interplay between control and chance in mark-making. It’s part of her ongoing exploration of visual rhythm and organic repetition, shaped by her experience of visual snow and her love for materials with history and texture.

Mounted on a sturdy board, ‘Shibori Shimmer – Plum’ can be framed or displayed as is, offering versatility for various interior styles — from modern boho to refined eclectic.
