New pieces in grayscale have a light and fresh feeling with medium gray/silver matte background. The silver gray background has a true concrete look and connects directly with my exploration of how nature and city interact, co-exist.

I’m staying with elegant grayscale for the moment but color could easily be incorporate in a couple different ways.
Colored glass could be used (ie layered greens, iridiscent). This is a matter of selecting a hue and developing a glass palette that works together and with enough saturation to contrast with silver gray background.
Color accents in paint could offer an abstracted approach to natural palettes. Using a defined circle shape (like I do in ENCODE series) at a smaller scale would be a playful way to introduce color into these pieces.
