The Shallow Hour
Coastal folklore says the ibis is the last bird to take shelter before a hurricane and the first to come back once it passes. Here the storm is over, and five ibises have returned to the water’s edge to gather again in the stillness after.
No single panel holds the whole moment. A beak crosses from one frame into the next and a glance meets its answer two panels away, the way people find each other again after something hard.
Combed plaster plume feathers sit alongside soft coral, rose and moss-green pastel. Above them, tropical leaves sculpted in sage, lavender and pink plaster still stand, shading the shallows. It’s a piece about resilience and return, made to hold a room.
Plaster plume and pastel on wood panel, framed. Triptych, sold as a set. One of a kind.
Three panels, each 17¼" W × 46¼" H (approx. 52" W installed) · Original, signed, ready to hang
