The Core of Self_2488vf

*The Core of Self_2488vf* (2024) presents two vertical clusters of matte vermillion-orange cube-like blocks mounted against a plain white ground: a wider group of three columns on the left and a narrower pair of columns on the right, each stack built from softly rounded, uniformly sized units. The rendering in pigment and acrylic on basswood gives the blocks a smooth, slightly faceted surface with subtle shading between units. The composition is spare and geometric, with no figures or setting beyond the neutral background.
