Shallow Relief and Saturation
A first exploration of low relief, precision painting and highly saturated colour.
Made in June 2006, this was my first exploration of low relief and a study in colour. The approach was precise rather than organic, with controlled painting bringing highly saturated colour to the geometric surface. The result is a distinctly contemporary relief.

07:12 · MORNINGSCROLL, OR PICK AN HOUR BELOW
MORNING · LOW RAKING LIGHT
Long shadows, maximum separation between facets. The geometry at its sharpest.
MIDDAY · OVERHEAD
Shadows collapse. Colour takes over and the surface reads closer to painting.
NIGHT · WARM DOWNLIGHT
Ridges catch, valleys drop away. The piece reads heavier, closer to sculpture.
