Primitive Bookkeeping #2
A grid-like field of tightly stacked horizontal bands in shifting hues transitions from warm reds and yellows on the left to cool blues and deep indigos on the right, with the lines subtly bending and misaligning as they move across the surface.
About the work
The composition is organized into vertical columns of closely spaced horizontal bars that accumulate into a dense, woven field, with each column slightly offset so that the stacked units appear to ripple downward in slow waves. On the left, sequences of coral red, orange, and golden yellow ascend against a pale ground, while toward the center these warm tones intersect with mint green and turquoise, before giving way to a compressed structure of sky blue, slate, and navy on the right. The regularity of the grid is interrupted by gentle curvatures and minor slips in alignment, creating a subtle sense of drift as if the units were subject to an underlying pulse or count. The title’s reference to bookkeeping is echoed in the work’s ledger-like columns and repetitive increments, which visually register shifts in color and density as a kind of ordered, yet slightly unstable, record across the plane.
