This painting developed through successive layers of addition, removal and revision, allowing the composition to emerge gradually rather than from a predetermined image. Fragments of colour, texture and gesture come together in a shifting structure that balances density with openness. Rather than resolving into a fixed form, the work remains attentive to the subtle relationships between its parts, holding tension and coherence in equal measure.

Created as part of my ongoing studio practice, this independent artwork reflects a process of layering, revision and decision-making in which each gesture responds to what came before.
