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 a strong relationship between figure and ground - where a shape we may have deemed to be "figure" transforms to reading as "ground" in another moment of viewing. Specifically, here the ground is the raw linen itself, literally underpinning the surface of the whole image. On top of that a few shapes have been "placed". As they give structure to the linen surface, the ray emerges as a form.
