This piece developed through a simple process of layering colour, paper and gesture. I was interested in how a few horizontal elements could begin to suggest a landscape — sky above, ground below — without actually describing one.
The torn edge of the red paper introduces a sense of movement, almost like a shifting horizon. The thin, drawn line running across the middle acts as a quiet divider, holding the different spaces together.
I enjoy working with these kinds of contrasts: soft spray colour, rough edges, painted marks and simple lines. Together they create an image that feels both structured and open, somewhere between abstraction and a remembered place.
