the shadow on a wall of an intricate, curvy object like an art-nouveau wheelchair

Last weekend we went to the Fuller Craft Museum to see the origami exhibit, and while we were there we also came across a show of the sculptor Michael Cooper. He makes graceful Art-Nouveau inspired chairs and vehicles of meticulously sculpted wood and metal. If you can get to this show (it closes May 13th), I highly recommend seeing his work in person.

The shadow above is of a vehicle called Soap Box Racer; you can see pictures of the sculpture itself on Cooper's website: go to the Vehicles section and find "3. Soap Box Racer" at the bottom of the page.

I love the play of light and shadow.

Me too. The shadow gets gradations of gray from layers of canvas in the sculpture.
