Red 60

Red 60 takes its title from a specific designation — likely a building number, a paint reference, or a site address — and grounds the composition in that nominal specificity while the visual content remains abstract. Printed in mokuhanga, the dominant red pigment is applied with water-based binders that interact with washi's absorbent surface, producing a warm, slightly uneven field characteristic of this technique. The numeral sixty may structure the composition directly — as a dimensional reference, a scale marker, or a repeated unit — or function purely as documentation of the work's origin. Against Kavanagh's minimalist architectural practice, a single saturated colour becomes both subject and formal device.
