Blanched Bulwark I calls to mind the early work of Robert Rauschenberg of the early 1950s. As with Rauschenberg's work, texture plays a major role in this large vertical work on canvas. The application of color and brushstrokes builds texture while the addition of shapes and lines provides a sense of movement in the piece. A muted color palette in bone, ecru, slate, and charcoal tie together this accomplished work of art.
