|---|---|---|
| 2025-11-18 (Blood and Water) | Horizontal panel split roughly in two side by side halves. On the left is a red drop, point up, its outline is carved in many thin lines, against a mostly green background with smudges, scrapes, and wiped areas. On the right is a mostly turquoise drop, point down, its rendering of a reflection is carved, its outline is a gradient of pink, orange, and red, against a pseudo three dimensional background in oranges and yellows. The background across the two halves makes up a vague spatial scene. | |
| 2026-06-09 | Rectangular painting in mostly reds, with some detail in pink, brown, teal, and orange. Some forms are recognizable, such as two roughly centered flower shapes, an oval or ring or opening or hat or a part of a container or who knows. Details are covered and revealed in all sorts of textured ways. | |
| 2026-04-01 | Square painting with a saturated red background framed by blue and white scribbles and scratches. A hairy cartoonish figure with a long nose, two short legs, and no visible arms is drawn in dark purple slightly right of the center. A cylinder-like form, approximately the size of its nose, is centered behind it. | |
| 2026-04-22 | Square painting with mostly pink on one side and mostly cream in the other. Teal separates some shapes from one another. Lines and smudges converge towards a point beyond where shapes meet. | |
| 2026-03-14 | Vertical painting with a composition of rectangular forms creating a pseudo three dimensional space. Large vertical cyan rectangle reaches the center of the canvas and almost to the top. Running across the whole height on the right is a layered light pink. Covering the rest of the space between is something that looks like an indentation or an opening or an inset, made of different shades of desaturated reds and pinks with thinner light cyan outlines painted over. | |
| 2025-12-09 | Layers of orange and light desaturated yellow cover a vertical panel with large smudges of color. A figure is drawn in a thick very light yellow line: large head form, round body with a big butt, the beginning of the back of the left thigh, left arm cropped by the left edge before the elbow, right arm cropped by the right edge after the shoulder. | |
| 2026-01-20 | Vertical panel in layers of light greens, yellows, some cyan and pink. A horizontal simple figure with crossed legs is at the bottom of the panel, obscured by smudges and streaks emanating from a large medium yellow form at the center. Long lines move in a large arc between head and legs across the panel's height. | |
| 2025-06-26 | Simple line drawing of a spiral in saturated pink moves between a drain form at the bottom and the top edge of the long vertical panel, against a thick orange background with a few unclear details and lines peaking out. Light translucent teal amorphous shape covers the bottom area. Shorter thin vertical yellow lines and smudges cover the middle and top area. | |
| 2025-10-07 | Translucent grays, teals, and coral colors against a textured layer of scrapes in different sizes, value, and direction. Two long forms with rounded edges begin in top edge and cross each other below it: one relatively straight, the other bent to the right. They are rendered over a solid teal half oval with a thick gray outline and gray volume at the bottom. Coral background with streaks radiating out of the gray form on the left. | |
| 2024-10-30 | Simple figure / droopy form drawn a little below the center of a square panel in thick and faint red line over another form against a ground defined by two short diagonal lines. Stubby legs crossed above the knee and falling over, stubby arm falling over the lip of the bottom form. Light red smudges around the figure and some past scrubbed renderings of the same scene. 5 light red crosses of different sizes scattered in the background around and above the figure. | |
| 2025-10-29 | Topless, muscular, and mustached cartoonish figure with long hair, a bandana, and a closed fist drawn in red lines from the belt up against a thick textured light greenish gray background. Peeking from behind the background is a part of a light skinned face with mostly swirly eye forms visible. | |
| 2026-07-04 | Rectangular painting in mostly blues. Pink lines add features that make it seem like the lower half of a cartoonish face with half a smile and stripy shirt. Thick textured outlines reveal traces and detail. There's also a yellowish smudge and three fingerprints. |
