Constitution IV

Mark Bradford's *Constitution IV* is a large-scale mixed media work on canvas that layers torn paper, found materials, and paint to create a richly textured, map-like surface. Bradford's signature process of adding and excavating materials reveals fragmented traces of text and imagery beneath the abstracted terrain. The work reflects his ongoing exploration of social structures, urban landscapes, and the complex histories embedded in everyday materials.
