An elevated point of view simplifies reality.
Forms become calmer. Color turns into structure.
Surfaces in oil and pigment on canvas are built in fine layers. Then worked. Then burnished.
Light circulates. It organizes space.
This gaze slows the eye.
Atmospheric abstraction begins here — in the decision to look from above, to reduce the world to what holds.
