A closer look at the work

Golden rings of light fill the picture, narrowing towards a bright centre slightly left of the middle. The large outer arcs are cropped, while smaller coils continue to the right. Deep darkness lies between the luminous lines. Only a few patches of ground remain visible, giving the apparently floating form a faint spatial anchor.

The eye assembles the separate paths into a tunnel or spiral. Yet this depth remains an act of perception: what is initially visible is light traced across a surface. Cropping makes the form seem larger than the frame and prevents a closed outline. A pull develops without a depicted route. Movement becomes tangible through the diminishing sequence of bright lines rather than a travelling body.

Personal consultation

The work, the space, the presentation.

What interests you about this work? I take time for your questions, its origins and its place in a collection. Together, we explore differences between works and their relationship with space, light and architecture.

Size, selected materials and bespoke framing are carefully coordinated. The precise presentation develops through our conversation.

A photograph of the intended space can help us consider scale and placement.
