Two Snow Traces · Deer at Rest

Snow falls quietly; movement and stillness leave their traces. Two Snow Traces · Deer at Rest uses natural white copper. A small deer rests at the lower right, its slender neck rising above folded legs. Antlers meet a pine sprig at the upper left in a quiet pose. The shared slightly tall oval outline, smooth thin bright silver-white rim and one fine inner border gathers the composition. Bright clean natural silver-white copper with pale-gray depth shadows is shaped by fine lines and shallow relief. Fine antler branches at the lower left and a short pine sprig at the upper right echo the front. Black wrapping, ivory diamond windows and coordinated fittings connect the two faces. Each has its own balance of detail and open space, while sharing the material, palette and decorative language of Two Snow Traces.
