Descriptionsquarish; layers of color are built up on the surface of the plywood. Although acrylic paint is inherently opaque, the application here has depth and luminosity. Washes of white paint flow across the surface like the white foam of moving water and metallic greens and blues float like oil spots on water. A small piece of wood protrudes at an angle from the flat surface, its curved profile recalling the prow of a ship.Collections
