Orchard of Small Suns

A branching pale path moves through a field of jewel-like blossoms and dark blue air.

Orchard of Small Suns treats the garden as a map rather than a view. Three pale paths meet without announcing a destination, while hundreds of circular marks move between flower, seed, star, and painted incident.
The upper field is held in deep blue; the lower ground moves through coral, emerald, violet, and warm ochre. From across a room the paths establish the structure. Up close, the hierarchy dissolves and every small mark becomes an independent event.
