Artwork notes

Artist-wide context

She tested how colours could work together without depending on the description of objects.

Materials, marks and colour

Media and surface

Paint, collage and printed books allow colour and lettering to share a page.

Marks and structure

Broken planes can replace stable objects; type can become a visual rhythm.
