Composition No. 33

Madison Fletcher, Octavia Ellis, Teo Alvarez

This piece, which I’ve titled “Composition No. 33,” is part of my ongoing dialogue with color, texture, and the quiet power of simple geometric arrangements. I find myself constantly drawn to the subtle yet profound conversations that unfold when carefully chosen hues meet considered forms and tactile surfaces.

In this particular work, I’ve layered blocks of a muted olive green and a deep, grounding teal against a more expansive field of off-white. The geometry is intentionally restrained, as my focus is on achieving a particular sense of balance, stillness, and an almost architectural calm. The introduction of the green twine, wrapped both vertically and horizontally, is a significant gesture. It brings an organic, linear element that both intersects and binds the color planes, hinting at a handmade process and adding a layer of gentle tension or connection.

The designation “33” signifies its place within a larger, evolving series of these studies. Ultimately, my hope is that this piece offers the viewer a moment for quiet contemplation—an invitation to appreciate the subtle interplay of color, the tangible quality of the materials, and the understated harmony I seek to create in these minimalist compositions.
