About this piece
A tightly framed fan-shaped leaf spreads its pleated surface from a point near the lower edge. Warm light traces the ribs in amber and gold, revealing fine veins between deep bands of shadow. The radiating composition gives this intimate botanical study a quiet, expansive energy.
The story
On this November day, a leaf holds the colors of an ember. The eye enters at the narrow meeting of its folds and follows the golden ribs outward, each one opening a little more space. Fine veins cross the illuminated surface, while red-brown shadows deepen between the pleats. Beyond the frame, the fan seems to keep unfolding.
