Underveil serves as a deliberate expansion of the Palimpsest practice, acting as a record of transition and accumulation. The canvas functions as a repository for private ephemera, with foundational layers of song lyrics and personal musings obscured by successive applications of texture and acrylic paint. The final composition emerges through a dialogue between these hidden, intimate histories and the assertive, continuous lines that unify the series. This piece synthesises the layering process, where intentional shapes and texture interact to reveal the depth obscured beneath the surface.
