Green Grid

Green Grid organizes its surface around a repeated orthogonal structure printed in a single green tone, likely built through multiple passes of the baren across carved plank surfaces. The grid is a recurring motif in Kavanagh's architectural vocabulary, referencing curtain walls, tiled facades, or urban planning overlays. Here the green pigment — applied with the water-based approach characteristic of her mokuhanga-influenced practice — may modulate subtly across the sheet, revealing the grain of the wood beneath the ink. Rather than rendering a specific building, the composition abstracts the grid to a formal principle: measurement, repetition, and interval as subject matter in themselves.
