Ralph D. Woop

2014

A reduced, questioning composition with a sketch-like effect. The work works well as a quiet close or an in-between moment. The blue tonality opens an interval between present and memory, making the motif feel like a find from a private image archive. Its effect arises from layering, fragment and suggestion; it is precisely the unfinished quality that gives the work its tension.
