Working With Each

Early, Still

2025

Acrylic on canvas, 55.9 × 71.1 cm

Because acrylic sets quickly into a film, each flat block of color could be laid over the last without a long wait.

  • Look where colors meet: the yellow tree against the red, the lit windows against the dark wall.
  • None of the color beneath has smeared into the new layer.
  • Brush marks show inside the red and yellow, yet each block still reads as one color.
