V5

V5, 2020

Size: 16 x 20 in.

Medium: mixed media on panel

About: This piece is inspired by WWII ration stamps, specifically the “V” and “5” symbols used during the wartime coupon system. The surface is built up with heavy texture, industrial materials, and layered coatings to give it a weathered, almost relic-like feel, as if it was uncovered rather than created.

The rough, tactile finish reflects the scarcity and grit of the era, turning a simple stamp marking into a sculptural object.
