Turning Point

30" x 40" | Karelian Birch and Zircote on Cradled Wood Panel

With a single sweeping gesture, Turning Point captures the quiet drama of movement held in pause. A dark, sculpted ribbon of zircote arcs across a luminous plane of Karelian birch, its curl suggesting a peeling back, a soft reveal — as if the surface is exhaling.

The richly figured birch, with its organic swirls and textural nuance, forms a serene yet intricate foundation. In contrast, the zircote introduces structure and shadow, a controlled tension that balances softness with strength.

This piece is a meditation on restraint — on what’s visible, what’s suggested, and the beauty found between.
