There are no polished gallery walls here. The smell of turpentine lingers alongside dried earth from the Barberton hills and tubes of oil paint squeezed and left on the table.
You have arrived while things are still accumulating. Examine the notes, watch the brush marks, and stay for a while.
Earth, rust and ultramarine
Deep cobalt and lapis dust
Mixed directly on rough surfaces, the blue remains raw and physical, capturing the changing shadow of the studio window.

Old mechanical objects collected from the hills find their way into the canvas, oxidized by time and weather.
The emergence of KYOS
Field Notes
Charcoal sketches, measurements, and thoughts recorded on torn paper beside the paint tubes.
KYOS Series
A body of work born from zinc scraps, mechanical symbols, and blue-green oxidation accumulating quietly on the studio table.
Conversations, studio visits by appointment, and inquiries into available works are always welcome.
