Rockaway Series explores the tension between mass and transparency — geometric forms suspended between solidity and dissolution. Each composition is constructed through layered planes of translucent colour, where intersecting shapes create shifting depths, shadows, and unexpected architectural spaces. The work evokes glacial formations, fractured stone, tidal movement, and the slow erosion of natural structures shaped over time.

Rendered in restrained mineral tones — deep teal, oxidised green, ice blue, slate, and muted silver — the paintings balance precision with atmosphere. The textured grounds introduce an organic instability beneath the hard-edged geometry, allowing the surfaces to feel weathered, excavated, and quietly geological rather than purely mathematical.

Titles within the series such as Rockaway: Deep, Shallow, and Glacial suggest variations in depth, pressure, light, and movement. Some works feel submerged and dense; others appear lighter, fractured, or suspended in space. Together, the series reflects on transformation — how forms shift through layering, transparency, and time.

Named for the shifting light and colour of coastal landscapes, the Rockaway series explores the same geometric composition reimagined again and again — in different palettes, seasons, and moods.
Each piece stands alone, but together they form an evolving visual conversation.

This body of work sits between abstraction and landscape memory: part crystalline structure, part coastal erosion, part imagined architecture. The compositions invite prolonged viewing, where overlapping planes continually reveal new spatial relationships and tonal subtleties.
