Under the Bark explores what lies beneath the surface — the marks, layers and traces that build over time. Through rich earthy tones and heavily textured forms, the work reflects ideas of growth, weathering and memory. Fragments emerge and recede across the surface, revealing a sense of history held within the piece, much like the hidden layers found beneath the bark of a tree.
Framed in solid oak
