Artwork notes

Designed for poems by Vladimir Mayakovsky, with an index that guides performance and reading.

Materials, marks and colour

Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.

Media and surface

Painting, collage and letterpress design ask different questions about a flat surface.

Marks and structure

Floating planes and changing viewpoints make space feel reversible.

Palette and light

Limited red, black and white can organise a page as strongly as a pictorial composition.
