Ancient Signs
Bold strokes of copper and peach branch across a rough, woven canvas like arrows, roots or the paths of a map. White triangles, circles and a glowing spiral float between them. The raw texture of the burlap shows through every mark, like writing on a cave wall. Primitive and powerful, it connects the first human signs with a contemporary eye.
