Warm sandy stone with rounded cobble-like forms filling the background. Soft and tactile. The figure feels set into the surface rather than placed in front of it.

Loose fragmented colour patches in blue white and pink on a pale ground. Mosaic-like but free. The fragments scatter across figure and background alike.

Warm ochre and flesh tones on the figure against a fractured white ground with bold blue and yellow colour blocks. The grid is loose and painterly rather than hard-edged. Energetic and immediate with strong graphic presence.

Cool blue-violet with large angular faceted planes filling the background. The figure is naturalistically rendered in warm flesh tones against the crystalline surround. Precise and cold with a quartz-like quality to the fractured background.

Cool grey with large angular fractured rock forms flanking the figure on both sides. The figure is warmly rendered in flesh tones against the cool jagged surround. Naturalistic and grounded with a raw stone quality.

Pale ground with a dense blue-grey pattern of text-like or script-like marks filling the background. The figure is rendered in warm flesh tones over the inscribed surface. Distinctive and layered with an archaeological quality.

Cool blue-purple ground with fragmented cream and gold shapes behind a confident figure. Background generates a broken tile or stained glass quality. Bold and slightly psychedelic in register. Figure holds coherence against the fractured surround.

Warm cream and ivory ground with faint ghosted figure forms visible in the background texture. Painterly and delicate — the spectral presences are suggested rather than stated. Figure is confident and warm against the pale haunted surround. Flattering and quietly distinctive.

Pale watercolour-like ground with soft grey-blue shadow marks and rose-pink accents catching at knees hands and floor. Dark forms loom in the upper corners. The surface has a first-pull silkscreen quality — colour present but not yet fully arrived. Delicate and slightly unresolved.

Entire surface broken into dense confident brushstrokes in cool blue-grey and white — figure and ground unified in the same energetic mark-making. The figure is present but woven into the surface rather than sitting on it. Cool silvery and kinetic.

Large angular faceted planes in pale blue-grey white and cream cover the entire surface like crumpled paper or crushed ice. Figure painted in warm flesh tones sits gently against the cool crystalline ground. Precise delicate and icy.
