Bas Dirks

Edge-to-edge weave of interlocking curved planes in blue pastel on white paper. Every contour carries a smoky smeared shadow-side, and the smears drift across neighbouring lines and settle in other planes, so the shallow relief never resolves — every shape lies both in front of and behind its neighbours. A faint pink breath warms one white plane near the centre. Dense, cool and quietly restless.
