Ringed Aperture

Carved paper, mixed media on wood panel

Shades of Grey series

Shades of Grey continues its investigation of contrast through a centralized opening that compresses the surrounding field into concentric pressure.

Layers accumulate toward a darkened core, where black and white tighten into structural focus.

The work holds tension at its center while the perimeter stabilizes the form.
