Descriptions Description Several layers of acrylic paint are applied to a sheet of wove paper, attaining an encrusted effect while still allowing a large portion of the white of the paper to show through. The surface is organized by a loose grid of small red and brown dots and seven rows of large blue dots, yet the effect is more organic than geometric.
