2021.206: Composition
PaintingsA rectangle that features thick globules of paint, which appear to run down a thin, vertically oriented, canvas. The paint moves more freely at the top of the canvas, and progressively begins to bunch as it moves closer to the bottom of the work. Small pieces of foam have been adhered to the canvas. These pieces are sparsely placed at the top of the work, and more densely applied at the bottom.
