Description
Three carved wood blocks mounted on a white wall, each printed with horizontal bands in a distinct palette: the left block pairs grey stripes above with a lower section of dark indigo and rose bands, the center block is covered in fine pale blue-grey stripes ending in a solid yellow base, and the right block shows a stepped silhouette with grey and cream bands atop a lower zone split into orange, coral, and blue-grey stripes. Grain and texture of the tulip wood remain visible beneath the printed color. *City Sea*, by Paul Furneaux, mokuhanga on tulip wood.
