The painting is made of brown chipboard pieces, some of which are covered with yellow paper. The pieces are arranged in a collage style, with some overlapping and others standing alone. The overall effect is one of rough, unfinished texture. The use of crude oil and nails adds to the sense of roughness and imperfection. The painting seems to be exploring the idea of imperfection and the beauty of rough, unfinished textures. If you like this piece, you might also want to explore the work of artist Dorothea Rockburne.
