Layers by Catherine  Mansell  Image: The artwork consists of a textured abstract painting that uses a combination of dark and earthy tones. The upper section is dominated by a large, rough, and heavily textured black area that stretches horizontally across the composition. Beneath this dark strip, a series of intricate patterns in varying shades of brown and gray create a visually complex layer. The textured surface and organic forms evoke a sense of natural decay or erosion, giving the painting a raw and gritty aesthetic. The interplay between light and dark areas adds depth and contrasts to the piece, making it visually engaging.
