Dog with a Flower and a Cat Tail

A dog drawn in one continuous navy line on a warm yellow ground, its tail curling up like a cat's, with a large flower drawn in the same unbroken line rising from its back.

One continuous line, drawn without lifting, in gold or cream or copper on flat ultramarine. Drawn that way a figure is fast, light and slightly comic — until it isn't. In 2024 the same line produced the Venezuela paintings.

A flat gold suitcase, seen square on, centred on a deep indigo ground. Inside it a disc of gold leaf carries dark diagonal bars across its face, like the griddle marks on a flatbread.
Emigration2025
salí con mi arepa debajo del brazo
On an ultramarine ground, about thirty small outlined rectangles arranged in a radiating ring, each containing a single continuous cream line drawing a human figure — upright at the outer edge, bent, folded and collapsed towards the centre.
Torture Studies2024
A grid of cells ruled in gold on ultramarine, each holding one figure drawn in a single gold line. Read down the rows the figures go from standing and walking, to crouching, to kneeling, to lying flat.
Never Forget2024
Small copper single-line figures scattered across a flat ultramarine ground in loose rows, with empty copper-outlined rectangles standing in the gaps between them where figures would be.
