Two Orchids
Gypsum relief on a metal-leaf background · Portable panel
Two sculpted orchids rise from a metal-leaf background. The commission became an experiment in combining matte gypsum with a reflective surface, allowing the flowers and their setting to respond differently to the same light.
The composition was developed from a botanical reference, with the arrangement and sculptural forms reworked for the panel. Made on an independent support, it can move with its owner; the working photographs trace the flowers from an unfinished white relief to the completed metal-leaf surface.
