An instrument against the dark door

The Old Violin hangs the violin beside its bow and pale papers on a worn upright surface. Metal fittings and small labels add further points of detail. The shadows behind the objects make their separation from the door as important as their individual shapes.

A compact arrangement across the tabletop

My Gems groups a pale jug, books, a small vessel and writing materials above a hanging sheet. The cloth and paper extend beyond the table edge. Different surfaces catch light against the darker background, encouraging comparison between ceramic, metal, fabric and the flat open page.

Hanging objects within a dense vertical display

After the Hunt gathers equipment, clothing and game against a dark door. Curved straps and long rigid forms cross at different angles. The arrangement uses a similar shallow space to The Old Violin, but fills it with a much wider variety of textures and overlapping edges.
