Artwork notes

Artist-wide context

Painting, photography and posters became different ways to make people notice and read an image.

Materials, marks and colour

Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.

Media and surface

Paint, plywood constructions, photographs and print each have a distinct material logic.

Marks and structure

Rulers, diagonals and unexpected camera angles reorganise ordinary viewpoints.

Palette and light

Restrained geometry and strong print contrasts can direct attention quickly.
