Bold geometry meets fluid terrain in this resin piece from 2020. Teal fields hold their ground against topographic curves and hard yellow bars, while a terracotta panel crowded with ringed dots pushes in from the right — organized, almost insistent.
The title does the real work here. "Be Your Own Guide" isn't decoration; it's a directive built into the composition. Arrows point inward. Contour lines map no specific landscape. The forms suggest navigation without giving you a destination.
Resin gives the surface a glassy stillness that keeps the energy underneath it from spilling over. There's tension in that — vivid color held just behind a sealed layer, like a decision you've already made but haven't announced yet.
