This work occupies a quieter register within my abstract paintings that treat the canvas as a living body. A dense central mass of grey-green texture, scraped and pressed into the surface, suggests compressed sediment. Around it, veils of pearl blue and radiating fields of yellow shimmer like atmosphere, positioning the painting between earthbound solidity and airy expanse.

The surface bears the marks of time with layers eroded and rebuilt, gestures scraped across like geological strata. The painting is a body that is at once weathered stone and vulnerable skin.

In dialogue with other works in the series that embody fire, water, and flesh, this piece draws the viewer into a meditation on matter as memory, and how earthly deposits continue to shift, like a living thing, always changing based on a history of exposure to the elements.
