Three Plates

Three flat color plates in a row on a midnight ground: a nested-squares Homage to the Square in russet and amber, a gold and a violet field each holding an identical warm gray rectangle, and a gold sheet crossing a rose sheet whose overlap color makes them read as transparent.

A still from the study: one generated Homage, the two identical centers that refuse to match, and the three opaque paints that read as glass. The real piece is interactive; the plates on the series page perform the deceptions live.
