Tony Fey's Flutter

A substantial square canvas — fifty inches in each direction — Flutter announces itself with the quiet authority of a work conceived at architectural scale. Hand-applied metal and nails build the surface into something dimensional, a composition that catches and redistributes light rather than simply receiving it, the gold finish lending a warmth that shifts with the hour. Framed beneath glass, it carries the considered presentation of a collected object, the kind of piece that gives a room its focal point before a single stick of furniture is placed.
