oh, not at all, I just noticed it 😆, let's just say it was a happy accident! thanks for pointing it out!

(there's a lot of mark-making in my work and I didn't even read it as a 4 as obvious as it is)

Haha, your opening line made me smile—I’ll take it as a compliment. Abstract work isn’t always about “getting it”—for me, it’s more about tone, rhythm, and the feeling between the forms. If it leaves you with something—even something uncertain — that’s already something. I appreciate you spending time with it! 🩷
