Soft and luminous, Shell is an abstract straw marquetry artwork in which hand-dyed rye straw is cut and laid in a pentagonal spiral, pulling the eye inward from the corners toward a receding geometric center. The natural sheen of the straw gives the surface an iridescent quality — blush pink shifting to silver depending on the angle of light. The piece balances precision geometry with the organic texture of individual straw fibers, creating a surface that reads as both structured and alive. Float-framed in walnut, 24 x 24in.
