518 Beats (Ready, Steady, 15 Go!)
2011
This composition presents a meticulously ordered grid of vertical stripes in varying widths and chromatic intensities, organized into horizontal bands that create a rhythmic, stacked structure. The palette shifts subtly across the work, moving from cooler blues and teals to warmer reds, purples, and magentas, creating zones of tonal variation within the overall composition. Applied in synthetic polymer on fabric, the stripes demonstrate careful modulation in saturation and value, suggesting a systematic yet intuitive approach to color relationships. The work exemplifies a practice rooted in geometric abstraction and color field painting, while the repetitive, almost musical quality of the striped format suggests an engagement with seriality and pattern based composition.
