Artwork notes

A dictionary-style statement becomes the object of looking.

Materials, marks and colour

Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.

Media and surface

Objects, photographic panels and printed text carry different kinds of evidence.

Marks and structure

Juxtaposition replaces a conventional painted composition.

Palette and light

Colour is often subordinate to legibility and the relationship between forms of description.
