Ivan Morley's *Tehachepi* is a richly layered work that combines oil, batik, thread, and acrylic on cotton, blending fine art painting with textile craft traditions. The use of batik's wax-resist dyeing technique alongside painted and stitched elements gives the surface a complex, tactile quality that blurs the boundary between image and fabric. Morley's process results in a work that feels simultaneously handmade and pictorial, with the cotton ground asserting its material presence throughout.
