“Connective Tissue”
Mixed Media Collaboration by Law Blank & Rachel Coleman
32” x 32” | Acrylic, Glitter, Thread on Stretched Canvas
 
A striking fusion of movement, color, and cosmic symbolism, Connective Tissue explores the fragile yet resilient bonds that tether us—to each other, to memory, to the unknown. This collaborative piece unites Law Blank’s bold, graphic figures with Rachel Coleman’s fluid, marbled landscapes, creating a dynamic tension between precision and chaos.
 
An astronaut, rendered in stark black and white with glittering texture, floats above a mountaineer suspended by thread—each figure climbing toward or away from the other across a swirling galactic divide. The mountains below, rich with Coleman’s signature fluid acrylic patterns, evoke icy terrains or distant planets, hinting at both isolation and beauty.
 
Threaded lines slice through the background like coordinates in space or echoes of communication—lines that connect, even across distance. The result is a dimensional and meditative artwork that captures a moment of human struggle, ascent, and interdependence.
 
This one-of-a-kind collaboration is part of The Great Migration series, reimagining humanity’s emotional and physical journey through space and time.
