This painting is a big square of pale, soft colors. It looks like light itself—no sharp lines, just smooth shifts from white to gray. The surface has a faint texture, like tiny dots scattered across it. The dots are actually tiny glass beads mixed into the paint. They catch the light in a way that makes the whole thing glow. Look up Mary Corse to see more of her light-filled work.
