Shoji
Scully's *Shoji* is a striking woodcut printed in colors on Fujiwara Awagami paper, its richly textured surface lending warmth and depth to the artist's signature language of bold, stacked bands of color. The composition evokes the geometric simplicity of Japanese shoji screens, with rhythmic blocks of muted yet resonant tones that balance tension and harmony. The full margins of the handmade Japanese paper accentuate the work's meditative quality, inviting the eye to rest within the structured yet subtly expressive interplay of form and hue.
