A horizontal panel composed of three broad black bands laid across a warm ochre ground, this work incorporates thin vertical threads or drawn lines that run the full height of the image. The central band shows a section where threads gather into a textured fringe, introducing a tactile interruption to the otherwise flat, graphic arrangement. The piece reads as an exploration of repetition, materiality and grid — the strict horizontal bands are softened by the vertical rhythm of the threads, producing a subtle tension between painterly surface and woven suggestion.

Its spare vocabulary and emphasis on structure place the work in a contemporary minimalist dialogue that privileges texture and serial order over pictorial illusion.
