Orientations Of The Night II
Work Summary & Collector Notes
"Orientations Of The Night II" is the second panel of Peterson's 2025 self-released triptych, a hand-pulled screen print on 290gsm Coventry Rag with deckled edges at 12 x 16 inches, in an edition of 50. As the central image it develops the series' meditation on nocturnal disorientation between its bookend panels.
Collector notes: The saved release record describes: Limited edition of 50. Edition-specific signature, numbering, and stamp details were not stated in the saved release record. Verify signing and numbering against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
The middle panel is structurally important to the trio, bridging the sequence and often the linchpin for collectors assembling a complete set. At 12 x 16 inches and an edition of 50, it matches its siblings in format and scarcity, reinforcing the series' internal consistency.
Collector Perspective
For anyone building the full triptych, panel II is a required piece, and its absence leaves a set incomplete. The modest size favors a grouped three-panel display. As a self-released print, matching edition numbers across I, II, and III strengthen the set, with provenance drawn from the artist's release records.
Historical Context
Released in 2025, panel II continues the "Orientations Of The Night" arc, using darkness as a metaphor for moral and social uncertainty. Its place within a numbered sequence reflects Peterson's habit of staging tension and conflict across a deliberate progression rather than a single standalone image.
