A Measure of Stillness

$0.00

A Measure of Stillness is an abstract large-scale straw marquetry work on wood panel — 48" × 39" — made with hand-dyed rye straw in a palette of blues and warm beiges. A structured linear field is interrupted by a fluid, undulating wave form, a gesture that evokes water in gentle motion. The straw's surface is naturally luminous, shifting with light. Float framed in maple.

Year: 2024
Size: 48” x 39”
Framed: 49” x 40” (float framed in Maple)
Media: Dyed straw on wood panel
Price: Not for Sale

Background: What is stillness? Can you be still… if you breathe? if your blood flows? What about a body of water in a gentle breeze? Or the ground teaming with plants?
I think that stillness is rarely the absence of movement; instead, it is the harmony found within it. A Measure of Stillness seeks to find harmony and calm when there is change and disruption all around.
