About the Work
Law uses airbrushing, screen printing, painting, and collage to construct dynamic abstract compositions built up in layers with materials suspended beneath glossy resin surfaces. Crinkly motifs derived from bitter melon skin repeat throughout the series as positive and negative shapes, repurposing stencils from other printmaking projects.
