Hybrid Figures

 In this suite, hybridization becomes a compositional method, joining the grain and pressure of the drawn mark with translucent color, fluid surfaces, and proliferating contours. These heterogeneous elements establish shifting relations between figure and ground, flatness and volume, definition and dissolution. A firm outline gives the body graphic clarity, while overlapping forms disperse its gesture through the surrounding space. Color introduces another rhythm, extending or interrupting the line's movement. Through this cross-pollination, the figure acquires several simultaneous registers of presence, from the emphatic silhouette to the elusive trace.
