Support - Unmounted hessian fabric
Process - The hessian was first primed with gesso. The hessian weave is still very visible in the background of this work. Again, as in the last piece, torn strips of linen were partially destroyed by introducing holes into the surface of the weave and thereby 'disrupting its continuity'. The work has been stained with washes of acrylic paint in tones of burnt umber and prussian blue. I have found that these both help to make visible the surface of the painting while still keeping the work pared back.
