Artwork notes

Construction, labour and the horse share an energetic field of marks.

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.
