Summary
Presents paintings, watercolours, and pastels from the artist's "Wall of Light" series. The author transcribes his experience of colour and light as he travelled through Mexico and witnessed the interplay of light and shadow on the stacked stones of ancient ruins. The resulting paintings combine colour and shape in a way that is airy and balanced.
