Story

A luminous field of layered crimson, vermilion, and deep mineral red forms the ground from which fragments of structure and recollection slowly emerge. Surface Memory explores memory not as narrative but as accumulation — traces embedded within material, light, and time.

At the center of the composition, a suspended geometric structure of mineral greens, oxidized blues, and chalk whites holds its ground against the dominant red field with measured restraint — fragments of architecture, or interior space, preserved within a larger chromatic atmosphere. The surrounding surface, constructed through successive layers of plaster, pigment, abrasion, and excavation, carries the physical history of its making: buried tonalities appearing gradually beneath shifting veils of texture, raised passages catching light while matte fields absorb it.

As ambient light changes through the day, the work transforms — shadow deepening certain passages, illumination activating others. What appears at first as a single unified field gradually reveals itself as a layered interior: complex, quiet, and materially alive. Surface Memory functions not only as image but as presence — contemplative, atmospheric, and in continuous dialogue with the space it inhabits.
