Gadfly Ten

By  Susan Banks 2020

Dimensions
60 x 60 x 4

Gadfly Ten references mosaics, particularly their role in liminal spaces, but also works with painting’s different possibilities. It spirals ambiguously and aims to observe uncertainty. It is reliant more on tone than colour and might function differently in diverse lighting conditions, an example of intentional metameric inconsistency! Oil on canvas.
