Aphelion

At its furthest point from the sun, the earth moves most slowly — and it is this quality of suspended remoteness that pervades every inch of this luminous work. 

A single celestial body ringed by a halo of ice-blue set against a vast field of ultramarine and violet stippled like a night atmosphere seen through cold glass. The lower register shifts to mauve and terracotta, resolving into a horizontal band of pale silver that suggests either a horizon line, a frozen sea, or the last memory of day.
