Artwork notes
The publication date differs from the date of the original rubbings.
Materials, marks and colour
Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.
Media and surface
Printed fragments, rubbing and scraped paint can supply the starting image.
Marks and structure
Unexpected joins make impossible scenes appear oddly coherent.
Palette and light
Textures can generate forests or creatures before colour gives them atmosphere.
