‘Solace’ takes its cue from something we all reach for, the relief, peace or support that makes a hard moment easier to carry. The piece sits with that idea, and asks where we might find that relief when we least expect it.
Set in a warm, earthy yellow against a charcoal black, the letters settle and sway across the panel, each stroke carrying its own tilt and weight. A quiet study in comfort, found in the places we don’t always think to look.
