The carved bark plinth has a coarse, tactile grain that holds the warm tone completely differently than the wool trousers or the smooth floor. Standing still next to an installation like this offers an immediate study in surface tension. When space is curated with strong natural elements, the garments need to hold their own through proportion alone. It was worth lingering this afternoon just to watch the shadows settle into the grooves.
