Lunar Alignment treats the geometric vocabulary of post-war abstraction as quiet astronomy — a vertical column of black discs of varying size, threaded together by fine connecting lines on a cream ground. The composition recalls phase diagrams and orbital sketches rather than ornament, in the spirit of the Bauhaus's diagrammatic clarity.
The drawing is purely linear: black on cream, no shading, no texture. The discs sit in measured order down the page; the connecting lines act like a plumb line keeping the column straight. The cream ground softens the contrast and gives the print warmth in any light.
The print suits vertical wall niches and tall narrow walls — between window and corner, in a hallway, on a stair landing. The upright composition reads well at larger scale and sits cleanly with pale oak, raw linen and paper lampshades.

Frequently asked questions
What does Lunar Alignment show?
A vertical column of black discs of differing size, connected by fine lines on a cream ground.
What inspires the composition?
Astronomical phase diagrams and orbital sketches, treated with the diagrammatic clarity of Bauhaus geometric abstraction.
Where does it work best?
On tall narrow walls — between window and corner, in a hallway, on a stair landing — where the upright composition has room to breathe.
Does the cream ground change the effect?
Yes. The cream tone warms the contrast and softens the black, so the print reads more quietly than a pure black-and-white composition.
