Vertical streaks of gold and cream scratch across a deep burgundy ground, creating the impression of light filtering through worn, weathered surfaces. The composition evokes aged metal or distressed fabric, with gestural marks suggesting decay, passage of time, and the beauty found in imperfection. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
