Artwork notes

Some elements are later reconstructions; read that history alongside the original date.

Materials, marks and colour

Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.

Media and surface

Fine paint handling makes impossible objects feel physically specific.

Marks and structure

Sharp edges and deep settings can coexist with bodies that melt or change identity.

Palette and light

Smooth tonal transitions and carefully isolated bright accents increase illusion.
