2020. Oil and latex paint on relief panels and wall, site-specific light and shadow.

Geometric relief forms painted in response to existing lighting conditions. Each plane is painted to balance to how its angle catches light, in order to recreate the appearance of the wall color behind it. Site-specific works intended to be viewed under the same light in which they were created.

The paintings as they are meant to be viewed, under the specific lighting conditions for which they were painted:

The paintings under flat lighting, revealing the separate colors each plane is painted.

The unpainted wall and forms, revealing how each angled plane catches the light differently.
