Artwork notes

Artist-wide context

Broken shapes and repeated rhythms bring the movement of dancers, streets and war machines into painting.

Materials, marks and colour

Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.

Media and surface

Painting, charcoal and mosaic each produce a different rhythm of fragments.

Marks and structure

Overlapping planes make dancers or machinery feel continually in motion.

Palette and light

Small colour divisions can shimmer; later modelling often becomes firmer.
