Structural Studies

Structural Studies considers how forms meet, carry apparent weight, and define an opening. Bearing Fold follows a surface through a continuous turn in closely worked gray tones. Yellow Bearing gives the junction between unequal masses a direct chromatic force. In Braced Void, pale connected members surround a dark interior space. Across these digital studio studies, folds, bearing surfaces, and joints organize the composition, moving between solidity and openness.

Bearing Fold

Black-and-white study of a folded form with a pale sloping face, a dark inner face, and a low foot extending to the right.

Bearing Fold — Digital studio study.

A continuous fold brings a pale surface into contact with a dark inner face and a low projecting foot.

Yellow Bearing

A broad yellow beam rests on an indigo upright against a pale blue field, with a narrow light band at their right junction.

Yellow Bearing — Digital studio study.

Unequal yellow and indigo masses meet at a narrow junction, giving support and apparent weight a direct chromatic expression.

Braced Void

Translucent pale structural bands join around a dark four-sided opening on a near-black blue field, with a small yellow accent at the upper-left joint.

Braced Void — Digital studio study.

Pale connected members trace an open field, concentrating attention at their joints.
