Grids is a showcase of mixed-media paintings that all began with the same underlying grid. Through a process of mark making, colouring, cutting, nailing, gluing, and finger painting, each work evolved into its own form and character. The result is a series of paintings that balance controlled architectural structure with unrestrained creative impulse.
