Notes
A tall painting built out of load-bearing colour. The blue upper field keeps everything below it moving: ground, shadow, structure, memory, whatever is left after the image has been pushed around a few times. The title helps, half instruction, half shrug.
Winks is a Melbourne painter whose work is colour-led and consistently titled in a way that suggests the words and the image arrived together. The name is deliberate, a low signal. If you catch it, it is yours.
