About this work
A pair of vintage metal roller skates, fitted with small wheels and worn leather toe straps, lies angled together on a bare wooden tabletop or floor. Rust spots mark the metal clamps and axles, and one long leather strap trails loose to the right.
Soft pastel strokes in ochre, gray and rust build a worn, textured surface, with diffuse light picking out the metal's dull sheen. The muted palette and quiet framing give the disused object a wistful, melancholic air of a forgotten childhood pastime.
