Concept

This fourteen-part structure serves as a dialogue between surface and support. By reconfiguring stretched canvas, burlap, timber, and exposed hardware, the series interrogates what remains when the image is withheld. The white field operates as primer and veil, while brackets, hinges, and charred wood assert the architecture beneath. It is an altar to structure without picture.

Material Process

Fabricated from cotton canvas, burlap, reclaimed lumber, perforated steel, and industrial brackets, the works were assembled through partial disassembly. Standard stretcher frames were cut, rotated, or stripped to reveal their internal grid. Fabric was left unprimed and allowed to crease under gravity. Hardware remains visible to emphasize attachment as gesture and exposure as method.
