Paper, cotton mat board, conservation clear acrylic, painted white wood frame
Made of multiple layers of patterned vellum laminated between clear acrylic, the piece lets light move through densities that shift from layer to layer, creating gradual progressions from light to dark. Claire loved the Italian word for star, stella, and this piece reflects that love in both its glow and its quiet radiance.
This piece awakens when light moves through them. Hang in a window or any place where it can catch the sun or a soft glow. It can also rest closer to a wall, holding its own quiet shimmer. For ideas on how to display it in your space, please contact the gallery.
