Landscape A2 sheet, mostly pale paper. White charcoal loops sit brighter than the sheet, densest in the lower right, with hook-like strokes on the left. Magenta and blue diagonals sweep toward the right; a peach patch sits high of centre; graphite and a few red flicks punctuate the field. Airy and high-key, the white doing the light.
