description |

this mid-size, three-part piece is made up of shades of blue, blue-green, and neutral taupe. a few sections include a drip technique with all the colors mixed together, so you get the full spectrum of how these colors enrich each other and interact. the text reads "slower than I thought / sweeter than it ought" because so many of the best things in life have come around slower than we wanted them to, but end up even sweeter than we expect or deserve.
