Artwork notes

Artist-wide context

Large areas of colour and soft edges invite viewers to stay with the picture and notice their own response.

Materials, marks and colour

Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.

Media and surface

Thin layers and changes of medium help colour appear to hover.

Marks and structure

Soft boundaries make rectangles feel open rather than mechanically cut.

Palette and light

Saturation, brightness and neighbouring fields change the emotional temperature.
