Fault Lines: Studio Documentation (2025–2026)
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Fault Lines records a studio-based investigation undertaken between 2025 and 2026 exploring the visual and theoretical implications of interrupting a painted surface. Beginning as spontaneous, sharp knife gestures cutting through accumulated fields of color, the line evolves across the series into a dynamic force—shifting, bending, fracturing, and integrating back into the impasto field. Rather than illustrating static geological fractures, the work treats the "fault" as an active mode of thinking about instability, continuity, separation, and directional movement. The publication preserves these paintings not as a final explanation, but as a primary record of artistic thought developing through sustained encounters with acrylic paint.
