Freefall
A sweeping explosion of luminous color defines Frankenthaler's *Freefall*, where cascading forms in rich, saturated hues seem to tumble and drift across the expansive handmade paper. The monumental woodcut showcases her mastery of spontaneous gesture, with hand-dyed passages bleeding and pooling into one another in a breathtaking display of chromatic fluidity. The raw, organic texture of the TGL handmade paper becomes an active element of the composition, lending a tactile warmth that amplifies the work's sense of uninhibited movement and liberation.
