Territory (2025)
Acrylic on reclaimed plywood, timber box frame
61 × 76.5 × 7 cm
Territory 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 densely arranged painted forms and exposed surfaces, allowing material history and process to remain visible.
In Territory, colour, repetition and proximity suggest acts of claim, expansion and control. Shapes press against one another, creating a sense of compression and negotiation across the surface. The composition holds a heightened density, with overlapping elements and shifts in tone generating tension between dominance and instability.
The timber box frame is integral to the work, containing the composition while reinforcing ideas of enclosure, division and spatial definition.
Provenance
