PRODUCT DETAILS

  • Plaster, pigment and wax on wood panel
  • 40" H x 40" W
"Night Train" is built around a single, arresting gesture — a rounded rectangular void cut through the right side of the Tadelakt plaster panel, opening completely through the work to reveal the wall behind it, bright and startling against the deep charcoal surface. The rounded corners of both the panel itself and the aperture give the piece an unexpected softness, evoking a train window passing through darkness, while subtle relief lines etched into the left side of the composition suggest the ghost of a seat or interior — just enough to anchor the metaphor without spelling it out. The richly worked plaster ground, ranging from graphite to near-black, holds the weight of night itself, making that single rectangle of light feel less like an absence and more like a destination. A superb example of what can be accomplished when outdated limitations are removed, Dawn’s mastery of Tadelakt plaster takes the ancient into a new dimension. Hand created hues, unconventional forms and audacious wit are all hallmarks of Ms. Bassett’s creations.
