Artwork notes

Made with Cornelis van Eesteren; not a drawing of a completed building.

Materials, marks and colour

Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.

Media and surface

Paint, diagrams and interior colour schemes share a geometric vocabulary.

Marks and structure

Rectangles can balance asymmetrically; diagonals later increase the sense of movement.

Palette and light

Limited colours make differences of direction and proportion especially clear.
