Understory
Layers of green unfold across an angular relief, moving from pale, luminous facets into deep pockets of shadow.
The angular planes bring together fragments of foliage, while variations in the painted surface soften their precise edges. As light moves across the work, different planes come forward and recede, revealing a shifting sense of depth.

MORNING · LOW RAKING LIGHT
Long shadows, maximum separation between facets. The geometry at its sharpest.

Ridges catch, valleys drop away. The piece reads heavier, closer to sculpture.
