Donna Weathers' The Weight of Light

A square composition of intimate scale, *The Weight of Light* by Donna Weathers arrests the eye through the quiet tension of its etched surface — wood worked until it holds both shadow and luminosity in equal measure. At thirty-two inches to a side, the piece carries the proportion of something considered, neither overwhelming a wall nor disappearing against it. It belongs to that rare category of art objects that read differently at each hour of the day, as ambient light shifts across the etched ground and reveals new topographies within the grain.
