About this work

This painting is a large, rectangular piece of paper mounted on a wall. It's covered in a mixture of pencil and colored pencil marks, with some areas featuring a textured, rough appearance. The marks are mostly gray and white, with some darker shades scattered throughout. In the center of the paper, there's a long, vertical strip of white gesso that stands out against the rest of the piece. On the floor below the painting, there's a small pile of pine needles. They're neatly arranged in a triangular shape, adding a touch of natural beauty to the overall installation.
