Weorðan

Marleigh Culver’s Weorðan is a mesmerizing exploration of transformation and the interconnectedness of life. Named after the Old English word meaning "to become" or "to convert," this artwork embodies the essence of change through a dynamic interplay of textures and colors.

Using her signature bleed painting technique, Culver recreates the organic flow of water and the layered evolution of earth, evoking terrains and biomes that are both otherworldly and deeply familiar. Rooted in themes of Earth, Life, and Death, this new series captures the journey of mortality—an arc from beginning to end, from creation to transformation.

Influenced by fantasy literature and mythologies from around the world, Culver draws on symbolic representations of gods and their roles in life’s essential processes.  This series of large paintings stands as a profound reflection of becoming, offering a visual narrative that merges the physical and the ethereal.

An extraordinary piece for collectors who value layered meaning and evocative artistry, Culver invites viewers to immerse themselves in a world of beauty, mythology, and timeless change.
