Original artwork description
In music, contrapuntal writing weaves several independent melodies together, each with its own line and character, so that they sound as one. Here the voices are boards of salvaged wood running side by side: a pale grey plank, a long stripe of red, a weathered green-stained timber with its splits and knots intact, and a slim brown plank, each moving at its own length and pace. Small blocks of chalky white and dark wood punctuate the upper half, and the composition is held between a pale board across the top and a heavy, moss-green beam across the base.
The wood carries its history openly, with paint worn back to the grain, old nail holes, lichen-like stains, so the piece feels assembled from many separate lives. As in counterpoint, no single line dominates; the work comes from how they move together.
