12×16 inches
oil, alkyd, cold wax, Arches oil paper, birch block
An abstracted still life study of the the inner workings of pine phloem. Its structure is asserted and destabilized in equal measure, this composition is anchored by a cruciform armature that both organizes and fractures the pictorial field. Dense, impastoed passages collide with veils of translucent pigment, while vertical drips and abrasions register time, gravity, and the physical insistence of the medium.
