Silent Orbit
Available · in the studio, Phoenix
The orbit that makes no sound — thread tracing a path so consistent it becomes invisible, so invisible it becomes essential.
In Silent Orbit, movement and stillness exist as one. Layers of ochre, violet, and gold sweep across the surface in circular rhythm, their paths defined not by brush but by string — a technique that translates gesture into vibration. The result is both dynamic and meditative: a field of motion suspended in perfect quiet.
This painting is a study in equilibrium — how energy finds its own center. The swirling forms suggest celestial motion, yet the mood remains inward, contemplative. Each curve feels like a slow breath, an orbit not of planets but of thought and emotion.
The tactile surface reveals time made visible. The string’s path traces repetition, resistance, and release — a choreography between control and surrender. Light catches on the ridges of paint, turning motion into texture, and texture into presence.
In Silent Orbit, silence is not emptiness but resonance. It’s the quiet that follows realization — a stillness that hums beneath movement. The work speaks to cycles: of creation, reflection, and return. Like gravity and grace intertwined, it turns abstraction into rhythm, and rhythm into meaning.
Where to see it. In person at RituStudio, Phoenix, by appointment. Represented by Jarrow & Goodman, Los Angeles.
The space it needs
- Wall
- At least 5 ft wide
- Ceiling
- 8 ft or more
- Light
- Warm ambient light enhances organic palette — thread catches light beautifully
- Daylight
- Burnt sienna and bronze run hot under Arizona afternoon sun, and the graphite black can flatten in direct light. A north or east wall keeps the orbit even and lets raking light find the thread ridges.
Lives best in
Bedroom 5/5
The graphite black grounds the composition without weight, and the orbital stillness of the earth-tone forms makes this the rare work that slows a room's pace rather than ending it.
Hotel lobby 5/5
The 4x4 ft square format centers itself with quiet authority in a lobby, and the skin-tone warmth makes arriving guests feel received rather than challenged.
