Cityscape 81 (Cityscape Tapestry)

A dense mosaic of tiny, window-like marks constructs a city that feels less built than accumulated—an archive of daily lives stacked into pattern and pulse. Against this near-architectural weave, two dark, netted bands carry simplified figures in saturated reds, ochres, and blues, as if community itself becomes a bridge across an overwhelming field of repetition. The warm, earthen ground and the scattered, stippled trees offer brief breaths of lyric color, suggesting resilience and tenderness persisting within the grid’s relentless order. The work reads as a meditation on belonging: individuals held in precarious procession, yet bound together by the very fabric that threatens to swallow them.
