Shadow Flora No. 3 depicts a bouquet of thistles in full bloom, their spiny heads rendered in dense charcoal that dissolves into soft-edged shadow. Framed beneath glass and lit to resemble a projected silhouette, the work compresses sculpture, drawing, and installation into a single image. Hollis’s precise mark-making contrasts with the blurred perimeter of the light, creating a visual push-and-pull between control and dissolution.
