With a minimal but, at times, active surface, this painting offers a quiet moment of contemplation and play; it is about things that can be two things at once, and whose relationships might be seen to shift over time. It relies heavily on figure/ground reversal - where a shape we may have deemed to be "figure" transforms to reading as "ground" in another moment of viewing. Throughout, shapes join with, underpin, obfuscate, reveal and determine each other. In this shifting landscape of continued visual play and slippage, one might find a sustained meditation on perception and relationships in general. Here the ground is the warm white color, literally underpinning the surface of the whole image. On top of that a few light blue and light pink shapes have been "placed". As they structure what was otherwise the "ground" color, the ray emerges as a form.
