Tony Fey's Fringed I

A work of considered texture and quiet opulence, Fringed I by Tony Fey commands its wall with the understated authority of a collector's acquisition. Polished cord and fabric are composed into a surface that rewards prolonged study, the fringe element introducing a subtle vertical rhythm that plays with shadow and light across its generous fifty-two-inch height. The shallow depth belies a remarkable dimensionality, the piece reading differently as the hours and the viewer move — less decoration than architectural punctuation.
