Process
Stained and bleached panel, transparent gesso, five transparent glazes, large initial marks, five further glazes, then smaller marks and highlights.

Artwork note

The horizontal field is built from cool grey, lavender, white, and blue. Larger charcoal shapes gather at the left and lower edge, while fine pink, cream, and pale blue marks spread across the width. Areas of greater and lesser density remain visible without producing one dominant centre.
