Description

"Erasing lines" (2022) is a woodblock print in an accordion-folded (concertina) format, standing upright on a reflective pale-green surface that mirrors its panels. The palette is predominantly black and dark indigo with cream/tan and white passages, built from dense vertical and horizontal line work of varying thickness and spacing across each panel. One panel breaks the grid with a diagonal white-and-grey band, while adjacent panels show tighter parallel ruled lines and a horizontal tan stripe, giving the sequence a rhythmic, architectural quality with no human figures present.
