A meticulously hand-loomed linen ground serves as both support and subject in Mark Barrow's *BGR*, where the fabric's inherent grid becomes an active participant in the composition. Barrow applies acrylic in a restrained palette, allowing the woven structure of the textile to inform and interrupt the painted surface. The result is a meditation on the relationship between process and material, where the boundaries between painting and craft dissolve.
