Artwork notes

Artist-wide context

He brought materials together in real space, letting their weight, tension and joins become part of the work.

Materials, marks and colour

Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.

Media and surface

Wood, metal and other materials can keep their own textures and tensions.

Marks and structure

Construction replaces an image of space with actual joints and projections.

Palette and light

Surface and light matter more than a unified painted palette.
