Set of 2 bookends handmade by Picture Room artist Skylar Hughes for Salter House. These unique, hand-painted bookends speak to the structure and cycles of the seasons. With a muted, hazy palette, the artist paints to embody environmental processes. His shard-like brushwork syphons nature’s colours and textures, offering a somatic impression of how it feels to be in the field, observing tensions between stasis and motion, fullness and emptiness, the singular and the plural.
