Artwork notes

Artist-wide context

Repeated shapes and flashes of light suggest several moments of movement inside one picture.

Materials, marks and colour

Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.

Media and surface

Painting and designed objects bring the same experiments into different settings.

Marks and structure

Repeated shapes can stand for successive moments rather than separate objects.

Palette and light

Radiating wedges and contrasts make light appear active.
