“Greatest Trochanter” pushes off in a new direction—lively, experimental, and a bit chaotic in the best way. The three strange blue forms that erupt from the bottom edge suggest bone-like structures or perhaps soft-bodied reef creatures, ambiguous but vital. Around them, the composition hums with tangled linework, transparent overlays, and scribbled marks in paint and pen. Floating yellow discs drift across the canvas like sunspots or spores, their placement both playful and destabilizing. The pale turquoise ground—scuffed, scraped, and stained—sets a washed-out tone against which the brighter elements snap into relief.

This painting feels like a transitional piece, edging away from the more tightly layered compositions of recent work and allowing more space for gesture and spontaneity. There’s something skeletal, even anatomical, in the branching black lines and the vessel-like forms they suggest. But it’s also lighthearted: a colorful mess of experimentation, trial, error, and evolution. A piece that embraces uncertainty and revels in the act of reaching for something new.
