Day

Sun-washed tones, soft blues, and warm neutrals rise and drift across the surface, creating a sense of quiet light and early clarity. Suspended circles of reclaimed fabric — each paired with a metal washer — hover and gather in gentle constellations. Like dew catching morning sun or thoughts forming at first light, they offer a rhythm of openness, possibility, and emergence.

Day is the first work created in the Celestial Veils collection — the piece that began the language, materials, and gestures that everything else followed.

Layers of acrylic paint lay the initial field: a soft atmosphere of dawn. Cheesecloth stretches across the surface like drifting light, then twine is woven and wrapped in loose pathways. Circles cut from reclaimed fabrics are paired with metal washers, each one weighted and suspended — held in a moment of lift and gravity, order and chance.

These small celestial fragments move with the slightest air, catching light and casting shifting shadows — creating a living surface that changes as the day does.

A meditation on beginning, on first light, on the way one moment opens into another.
A reminder that every cycle starts with a spark, a quiet idea, a single piece of thread pulled forward.

The piece that became the seed — day arriving first, and the rest of the sky born after.
