Northern Line 2016 - 33 x 52"
Multi-media: Acrylic & graphics on paper and canvas

Mondrian's tree, becoming more and more abstract until it was just colored rectangles made an impression on me. I had never seen an abstraction of something in a sequence before and with the idea of PATHWAYS I started to look at Harry Beck's famous stylized map of the London Underground. But the negative spaces were more interesting than the lines. Initially the canvas was much brighter at first but I worked the surface hard: wet and dry and wet again- over and over, eventaully scratching the suface with a belt sander, and staining in multiple layers.
