Layered cardboard, about three inches thick, set face-on instead of on edge. The first larger piece where the cardboard lies flat rather than showing its corrugated edge. The surface is acrylic, white and black and maroon, sanded back between coats. The cardboard took on moisture and swelled unevenly. Sanding the raised areas cut through to the layers beneath, and that is where the marks across the field come from, not from drawing.

A forked length of driftwood leans across the upper right. Sand covers the bare corner above it. At the bottom center, one short block turns its corrugated edge to the front, the old way of working set against the new.

I was after chaos. I got it.
