Settlement (2025)
Acrylic on reclaimed plywood, timber box frame
61 × 76.5 × 7 cm
Settlement forms part of a set of three works — Boundary, Settlement and Territory — made to the same format and scale. Constructed from reclaimed plywood elements, the work brings together painted surfaces and areas of exposed wear, allowing material history to remain present within the composition.
In Settlement, the arrangement of forms suggests a process of placement and adjustment rather than fixed order. Colour blocks appear to stabilise and counterbalance one another, creating a sense of occupation, pause and provisional structure. The work sits between control and erosion, with edges and joins retaining visible marks of making and previous use.
The timber box frame is integral to the work, containing the composition while reinforcing ideas of enclosure and spatial definition.
Provenance
2025 — Exhibited during Artwave Festival, September 2025
Currently held in the artist’s archive
