A colour study of lines, favouring a bright palette that reflects the artists’s personal relationship with colour.
The small works and large works that look similar, inform each other back and fourth, neither is more important than the other, they are all explorations.
The artist painted for a few hours every day for several months, layering numerous canvases with acrylic paint. This series focused on unconsciously creating, by working on multiple works simultaneously.
