Artwork notes

The roof construction becomes a powerful arrangement of black and white.

Materials, marks and colour

Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.

Media and surface

The cut block is an expressive surface, not just a way to reproduce a drawing.

Marks and structure

Strong black areas and white cuts organise buildings and foliage.

Palette and light

High contrast and paper light often replace a large range of printed colours.
