Untitled #3 (framed flat skin pieces from Open Wound)

2025

This framed work presents a densely textured rectangular composition in muted mauve and dusty rose tones, its surface animated by gestural marks and organic striations that suggest geological formations or eroded landscapes. Executed in pigmented methyl cellulose on construction mesh mounted within a steel frame, the piece demonstrates a tactile approach to abstraction, where material manipulation becomes a primary vehicle for expression. The work references bodily or wound like imagery through its title while remaining formally engaged with texture, color modulation, and the sculptural potential of unconventional supports. Characteristic of contemporary practice engaging material vulnerability and surface activation, it reflects a lineage of artists exploring metaphor through industrial and organic substances.
