Nathan Hylden's *Not Working III (pentaptych)* is a five-panel work that combines spray paint and silkscreen on paper, layering industrial and hand-rendered processes to explore themes of repetition, failure, and mechanical reproduction. The interplay between the immediacy of spray paint and the structured precision of silkscreen creates a tension between control and chance across the work's fragmented composition. Together, the five parts function as both a unified whole and a series of discrete moments, inviting reflection on systems, seriality, and the limits of intended meaning.
