Blue #1: a deep blue field crossed by a diagonal band of crusted silver and black, small orange marks surfacing through it.

The same canvas seen from further back, the wall around it visible.

Close view of the textured diagonal, where crusted silver ridges sit over blue and small orange flecks show through the weave.

After the Ceremony on a studio wall: four figures in white shirts and dark formalwear, their heads rendered as a red-pink mask, an orange ringed eye, a blue head and a violet head.

Display Room on a studio wall: a tipped blue vessel, a magenta form and a yellow-green ovoid on stands, and a dark teal shape like a folded umbrella, against pale blue and cream.

Upright close view of the magenta form, its edge lit yellow and orange, built from long streaked palette strokes.

Upright close view of the teal shape, pale ribs on one side and deep green-black on the other meeting at a sharp fold.
