It’s funny how one has an almost primordial reaction to or relationship with colour. The previous pair consisting of earth tones and… browns doesn’t appeal to me much at all. While this one is lovely off the top and delivers the time / space to consider the formal relationships between the two and appreciate the almost metaphoric device that relates the wrinkle-like textures on the right with the direction of the light on the left. Which, in turn, is made ambiguous by the shadows from camera right. Is that too much ‘head’ going on? I don’t know, but the colours and then the textures hold it together for me. Very nice.
