Blots (Abstract Composition) Printmaking Abstract Printmaking

This work reads like an improvised architectural reliquary—an upright, house-like silhouette built from fractured planes of charcoal gray and bruised crimson, where the eye keeps catching on flecks and stains that feel both ornamental and wounded. The composition stacks dense, patterned compartments beneath a darker, weightier “roof,” turning domestic structure into a psychological interior: part shelter, part pressure chamber. Veils of rubbed white and scraping marks interrupt the heavy fields, suggesting erasure and repair, as though memory has been repeatedly rewritten on the same surface. In the tension between grid-like order and unruly splatter, the piece proposes a narrative of containment—how systems, rooms, and rituals try to hold what still insists on leaking through.
