Gathered Depth builds a field of blue through accumulation, scraping and vertical marks.
Rather than describing a specific landscape, the painting develops through layered material events. Mineral blues and turquoise move against pale greys and deeper green-black passages, creating areas that appear to recede, surface and gather again.
Depth is not produced through conventional perspective. It emerges through density, interruption, material resistance and the way light meets the painted surface.
At architectural scale, the work changes according to viewing distance. From across a room, the composition reads as a broad atmospheric field. At closer range, its construction becomes visible through shifts in texture, gesture and accumulated matter.
Gathered Depth suggests depth as something built gradually through material, gesture and light.
The work brings together mineral blues and turquoises, pale greys, and deep green-black areas. Direct sunlight tends to reveal the texture and luminosity of the blues; diffused light makes the transitions between layers easier to read; warm 2500 K lighting may heighten the sense of depth and alter the perception of the cooler tones.
The visualisations below are studies of how the work might sit within a space. They communicate presence and scale; they cannot replace viewing the original or guarantee exact colour and texture reproduction.
The painting’s colour and material qualities should be experienced under different lighting conditions, viewing distances and angles.
