Notes: Cette composition dispose côte-à-côte un embauchoir et d'autres objets à trois dimensions, peut-être des galets. La lumière provient de deux angles différents alors que les objets restent en place, créant ainsi un effet de profondeur et de volume.

Ce lot sera inclus dans le catalogue raisonné en préparation des Rayographies de l'artiste par Monsieur Steven Manford que nous tenons à remercier pour l'aide qu'il nous a apportée.

The present abstract composition is made of a shoe tree and other three-dimensional objects, perhaps smooth rounded pebbles. The light for the exposure came from two different angles while the objects remained in place. The resulting grades of illumination create the effect of depth and volume.
