Descriptionvertical, rectangular, abstracted still life image, inspired by natural world; three-dimensional objects flattened and compressed into undefined shallow space; they overlap in structured composition that prevents any sense of depth; focused instead on movement, rhythm and balance; color and pattern harnessed to bring select objects forward or to make others recede; features limited palette combining unusal and distinct color combinations - shades of icy blue, raspberry, and dusty ochre.
