Blue Vessel, Winter Tangle

A weathered blue vessel rises like a small architectural monument, its chipped surface supporting an unruly arrangement of dried branches, seed clusters, leaves, and feathered forms. The close, upward-looking composition turns the botanical assemblage into a dense web against a pale interior wall, where fragile natural remnants contrast with the heavy, distressed base. The work carries the quiet gravity of an autumnal still life while retaining the uncanny presence of a found-object installation.
