Unraveling
A Diptych Meditation in Black & White
Available · in the studio, Phoenix
The coming-undone made monumental — black and white diptych holding the gravity of something still in the process of coming apart.
“In 'Unraveling (Diptych)', form unravels into feeling — a map of gestures, echoes, and whispered thoughts.”
Unraveling is a quiet meditation on motion and meaning—told through a restrained visual language that invites contemplation. This 12-foot diptych, rendered in black and white acrylic, is less about what’s depicted and more about what’s suggested: a sense of unraveling that’s both internal and infinite.
Across the two panels, a thin white line begins its journey—delicate, unhurried—meandering across a dark, textured surface. Its subtle curves resist precision, like memory or breath. There’s rhythm in its uncertainty, a softness in the tension.
As the line travels across the composition, it draws us toward a vortex of gesture: a loose, layered cluster of white marks surrounding a single red circle. The red is a rupture—vivid, central, emotional. It interrupts the quietude with presence. Like a pulse. A question. A point of return.
This piece grew from a fascination with diptychs and the metaphor of threads—of things coming undone, or perhaps finally becoming clear. The format offers not just scale, but space: room for the viewer to engage, breathe, reflect. It invites the eye to wander and the mind to pause.
Unraveling isn’t about resolution. It’s about staying with the line as it drifts and loops and dissolves. It’s about presence in process. And about allowing something essential to emerge—not through control, but through quiet observation.
Follow the thread. Let it lead you.with the silence between the marks, and to discover what’s waiting at the center of the unraveling.
Where to see it. In person at RituStudio, Phoenix, by appointment. Represented by Jarrow & Goodman, Los Angeles.
The space it needs
- Wall
- At least 12 ft wide
- Ceiling
- 10 ft or more
- Light
- Any lighting — monochrome palette is lighting-agnostic
- Daylight
- Twelve feet of charcoal and muted white hold steady in daylight, but the cadmium red and oxblood run hotter under late western sun. A long north or east wall keeps both panels reading as one.
Lives best in
Bedroom 5/5
The somber mood and near-monochrome palette, broken only by that quiet oxblood and crimson pulse, create the kind of reverential hush that makes a bedroom feel like a considered place rather than just a functional one.
Hotel lobby 5/5
The two panels together carry the scale and stillness a lobby needs to anchor transient guests, and the single cadmium red circle does the work of a heartbeat, giving a vast charcoal ground one point of return that reads clearly from thirty feet away.
