Red Field Study No.1, 2023

Ink and acrylic on rice paper
Approx. 8 1/4 × 10 7/8 inches (21 × 27.5 cm)
2023

A study of rising force and compression, expressed through a single wave form emerging into a saturated red field. The composition balances fluid motion with restraint, allowing the structure of the wave to hold tension against a flat, uninterrupted plane of color.

Executed in ink with acrylic intervention, the surface retains evidence of process — visible brushwork, tonal shifts, and the slight irregularities of the paper itself. Registration marks remain present, reinforcing the work as part of an ongoing disciplined practice rather than a resolved illustration.

Rooted in the visual language that informs the Discipline of the Infinite series, this piece functions as both a standalone work and a fragment of a larger investigation into energy, movement, and symbolic form.
