Form is set aside. In Towards Radical, on paper, the field loses its last edge, while the canvases of the same year still build bodies. After a break in 2022, the field returns at scale in Distances, from darkness through saturated colour to light; in Introspection, light enters from the edge and ends as bare canvas. In Standby, flat colour stays, with nothing left to cut: it only stops the field along a straight edge.
The darkness is built from leftover acrylic, oil, pastel and spray, then scratched and scraped back. What enters it from a corner changes across the sequence: saturated colour, then light, cold where the colour was warm, until the light is simply bare canvas.
