Study After Nine (Rush to Relics), 2020

This artwork, part of an ongoing series "Rush To Relics", consists of two panels, each depicting a grouping of American flags rendered in a monochromatic palette. The flags are portrayed in a distressed and tattered state, conveying a sense of wear and deterioration. The stars and stripes, though recognizable, are fragmented and intermixed, creating a chaotic, almost ghostly effect. The use of shading and varying tones of grey adds depth and texture, emphasising the frayed and weathered appearance of the fabric. The overall composition evokes a powerful sense of decay and transformation.
