Surfaces
The textured background; how it creates a distressing atmosphere and makes the work more intriguing and open to interpretations by the viewer. It mentally forms a physical obstacle to its progress as compared to a highly polished surface which can invite us to enter like a mirror. These surfaces vary from the various treatments it received such as weathering due to natural processes, lovers who have carved out their initials onto the bark of a tree, graffiti blatantly scattered across a highway or even floor stains that will accumulate with age like wrinkles on a face. It is from them that we may gain some knowledge of the structure of reality, almost like an enjoyment that can be found in debris, scattered at random.
