In Nature too we find this tension, the prevalence of many different 'brushstrokes'. Some are combative, some static, some are heavy, some relaxing. This series is about that same contrasting dynamic. Using geometric shapes & bold colours to represent the dance between intentional and accidental; both figurative and abstract.
