Solstice

Piece description from the artist

This was the fourth piece done in the geometric style I now work in. I decided to work in very pale colors – yellows and light brown. I hinted at a theme of exploration and built on that when I added diagonals to the grid for the first time. Parallel, the diagonals created a trap door shape to metaphorically "enter the painting".
