A closer look at the work

An orange band runs horizontally through an otherwise dark-blue and brown field. Its edges are soft, with brightness increasing towards the centre. A narrow dark horizon lies above; below, the glow fades into warmer shadow. Individual waves are barely distinguishable, leaving colour to provide spatial orientation.

The existing text describes a distant streetlamp reflected on waves near New York and an hour-long exposure. The photograph allows this concrete coastal situation to approach fields of colour. The band preserves movement as an extended appearance rather than one breaking wave, making the boundary between representational photography and abstraction visible through light, water and duration.

Personal consultation

The work, the space, the presentation.

What interests you about this work? I take time for your questions, its origins and its place in a collection. Together, we explore differences between works and their relationship with space, light and architecture.

Size, selected materials and bespoke framing are carefully coordinated. The precise presentation develops through our conversation.

A photograph of the intended space can help us consider scale and placement.
