Spaces

Spaces turns Kavanagh's architectural attention toward void rather than structure, treating the gaps between and within built forms as the primary subject. In woodblock printing, uncarved and uninked areas of the block produce the white of the washi itself — making negative space a material condition of the medium as much as a compositional choice. The composition likely presents architectural intervals: doorways, window voids, passages, or the spaces between structural elements. By refusing to fill these areas, Kavanagh aligns her printing process with her subject. The result is a print in which the absence of ink carries as much formal weight as its presence, consistent with her emphasis on restraint and distillation.
