Residual Energy
10" x 8.5" x 2"
A collision of motion and memory, Undertone evokes the tension between external distraction and internal truth. Brightly colored discs spin above a ghostly anatomical trace—suggesting that every vibrant life carries with it a quiet echo beneath.

Undertone is a study in visual duality—an assemblage that contrasts vivid, textured circles and mechanical gears with a haunting skeletal etching below. The upper composition explodes with overlapping discs of dyed wood, industrial washers, and vintage clock gears, resembling a diagram of kinetic thought or unraveling machinery. In the lower half, an anatomical skeleton etched into a worn substrate is partially obscured by hanging brass rods, keys, and fittings—an afterimage of the structure beneath the noise. The two sections are visually and thematically tethered: motion and stillness, surface and root, presence and echo.
