Description

Meanwhile positions itself as pure abstraction within Wilhide Justin's nature-derived practice, the title implying parallel events unfolding simultaneously — a structural metaphor that may be reflected in the composition through overlapping or interlocking visual fields. Printed using Japanese woodcut technique, the work likely employs multiple carved blocks to build a layered image in which the source material from the natural world has been substantially transformed. The mokuhanga process, with its capacity for transparent ink layering and graduated bokashi, enables a visual complexity that can suggest depth or temporal simultaneity. The title's ambiguity is characteristic of an abstracted approach that retains its roots in close observation without declaring its subject.
