A richly layered composition in oil and pigment, Melanie Comber's *Seam* explores the tension between surface and depth, where raw pigment meets the luminous quality of oil to create a tactile, almost geological presence. The work evokes a sense of rupture and mending, as if the canvas itself holds the memory of being split and rejoined. Comber's process-driven approach invites the viewer to trace the subtle shifts in texture and tone that mark the painting's interior landscape.
