A sandblasted, deep lavender plate of anodized aluminum sits above a sandblasted plate of yellow zinc plated steel, within a frame of the same steel. The works overall dimension is almost square and the top plate is about twice the height of the bottom one. The yellow zinc plated steel below has sporadic and expressive sandblasting marks throughout and the whole piece reflects ambient light.

Soft shapes appear in the purple anodized aluminum sky of Devin Farrand’s Horizon (Early One Morning) (2024), suggesting a calm and misty morning. Farrand’s color selection evokes many scenes—the first flowers of spring, the light on the Pioneer Mountains at daybreak before the sun rises, and clouds lit by lighting during a thunderstorm. The iridescent colors of the yellow zinc plated steel shimmer as the natural light changes throughout the day and shift with the viewer’s position, providing moments for reflection that mimic the feeling of a pause during a hike.
