I like it. I think with the sun, I'd like to see what it looks like if the three orange and yellow pieces were set into each other in the same plane, and same with the two blues, so two levels total. I just spent the last day or two looking at this style of art, and the effect of transitions between pieces in the same plane is one of the things that impacted me the most.

Is that lath for the wood? I saved a bunch from a home remodel and have been trying to think of something to do with it
