Excavation

The painting relies on an intricate arrangement where each individual form interlocks with the next. Recursive geometric patterns in red and black draw the eye downward into the frame to create a distinct perception of depth. This visual tension produces a figure-ground ambiguity. The viewer must negotiate the relationship between the foreground elements and the underlying space. The syncopated rhythms of Indian classical Ragas inform the repetition and variation of these patterns. The piece operates at the intersection of spiritual geometry and the visceral power of colour. The final work leaves the mystery of what exists below the threshold of sight entirely unresolved.
