Organic Repatterning

 
ORGANIC REPATTERNING
The body knows before the mind does. Before any conscious decision is made, something deeper has already begun to shift — rewriting old instructions, dissolving pathways that no longer serve, building new ones in their place.
Organic Repatterning is that process made visible.
Striped forms curl and wind across a charged field of red, yellow, green and grey — neither fully geometric nor fully alive, but somewhere in between. They read like cells under a microscope, or like code being rewritten at the source. Nothing here is breaking down. Everything is reorganising. The surface layers of acrylic, ink and gesso on birchwood panel carry the energy of something in genuine motion — not chaotic, but purposeful. Evolutionary.
And then the frame pulls you back.
The same 1970s black lacquered frame found at Portobello Market — ornate, baroque, hand-restored — that houses its companion piece Upgrade. Two works from the same series. Two frames sourced together from the same market stall, decades old, brought back to life. The classical architecture of the frame doesn't compete with the rawness of the painting. It holds it. Like a body holding a transformation it doesn't yet fully understand.
This piece is sold framed. The frame is part of the work.
