Artwork notes
Departure becomes a mixture of figures, machinery and emotional rhythm.
Materials, marks and colour
Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.
Media and surface
Paint and sculptural models offered two ways to study forces in space.
Marks and structure
Repeated curves and intersecting planes prevent a figure from feeling sealed off.
Palette and light
Broken colour can suggest energy; sculpture instead relies on light crossing its surface.
