Original artwork description
Five Variations on a Theme is a set of five relief panels built from painted and found wood on plywood. Each panel shares the same structure: a vertical column of stacked strips rising through a field of hand-drawn lines, with ladder-like marks that recall musical staves or architectural plans. The grounds alternate black, white, black, white, black, so the set reads as a rhythm when hung in a row. Within that structure each panel changes the theme. Teal and white with a cluster of orange slivers in the first. Deep blue, black and weathered wood under a small block of gold leaf in the second. Driftwood, oxblood red and a single copper disc in the third. Greens, raw pine and warm browns in the fourth. Blue, red and orange in the fifth, echoing the first. The pieces stand up to three inches off the surface, so shadows deepen and shift with the light.

Acrylic, Gold Leaf, found wood
