Quiver

Soft gradients evoke the tender light of dawn, when the rising sun begins to drench the landscape in warmth and color. Completed on the summer solstice, this piece holds the sensation of savoring a beautiful, fleeting moment.

Bands of bamboo-inspired brushwork introduce a counterpoint to the sweetness of the palette. The dark, rhythmic marks serve as an anchor, drawing attention to the material presence of the folded canvas. The friction between delicacy and structure creates an animating tension.

The title refers to a visceral response to beauty: a subtle shiver, a quickening of attention, the sensation of being moved before language arrives.
