Study 03 • Grand Canyon

Strata + rhythm + depth.

This study translates the canyon’s layered geology into a horizontal composition shaped by desert light. Warm strata, stepped planes, and a restrained sun suggest scale, depth, and geologic rhythm as light moves across rock at the edge of day.

Study Notes
Reduction, repetition, and geologic time.

Grand Canyon is built from repeating cues—planes, steps, and long horizontal runs that imply depth. Refined layers keep the composition minimal while preserving complexity, so it feels structured but not rigid.

The palette separates value ranges and uses controlled overlaps to hold definition after wear and washing. The result is a functional textile that also reads as a collectible print object.
