The quiet at the end of winter has an edge, and Edge of Stillness finds it on Evergreen Lake, Colorado: a bald eagle standing on the last pale shelf of ice, with the open water of the thaw below it in deep cobalt and a long reflection of willows in gold.
One diagonal divides the frame, rising from the lower left to the upper right. Above it the ice is a wide, wind-scoured field of pale blue and white. Below it the water is cobalt, broken on the right by the gold of the willows on the far shore. The eagle stands left of center, small and upright against all that white, the only vertical in a frame of horizontals. The eye lands on the bird, drops to the faint reflection under the ice edge, then follows the diagonal into the gold, where the blue holds it. Nothing else asks for attention, so the empty ice and open water do as much of the work as the eagle does.
The frame owes something to Ernst Haas in its color discipline and to Hiroshi Sugimoto's horizon studies in its single hard line, but the eagle makes it a picture about scale and the turn of the season rather than about the bird alone. Ice and water can also read as sky and land, which is part of why the image holds from across a room.
Edge of Stillness gives modern, minimalist interiors a quiet focal point that is graphic without being literal: lake and mountain homes, lodges, restaurant and hotel walls, lobbies, offices and spa spaces. The cobalt and pale ice sit well with white oak, stone, charcoal and brushed metal, and the gold gives a warm note against cool walls. It works best as a single large piece, where the open ice has room to breathe.
Three companions, each connected in a different way:
For the same quiet bird on water: Pair with Where the Water Rests, a Canada goose alone on still water at Chatfield Reservoir. Both put a single bird in a wide field of calm, in Colorado.
For a cool, still surface: Pair with Enduring Silence, Shiprock standing over its own reflection under low cloud. The same cool palette and the same device: one solid shape, one mirror and a great deal of open space.
For the opposite weather: Pair with Storm Gate, a Colorado prairie storm in black and white. Where Edge of Stillness is the calm of a thaw, this is a sky about to break, and the two make a pair about the weather on either side of a season.
Available as a signed fine art print on ChromaLuxe® Metal (Gloss, Semi-Gloss or Matte), TruLife Acrylic, archival paper (framed or unframed), canvas and wood. ChromaLuxe® Metal in Semi-Gloss or Matte is the recommendation: it makes the cobalt water and the gold reflection glow, while the lower sheen keeps the large pale ice from mirroring the room. Archival paper is the quieter alternative, a classic, softer read of the same scene. Larger sizes are recommended, since they let the eagle hold its place against the open ice.
Note: Custom and oversized photographic prints are available. Please contact the studio directly to discuss custom framing, matting, or specialized museum glass options.
