Edward constructs a dense, fractured topography of deep azure, vivid emerald, and stark black, employing aggressive graffito to carve structural grids directly into the wet pigment. Operating as a self-described "twenty-first-century primitive," the artist wields sticks and knives rather than traditional brushes, merging the visceral materiality of Abstract Expressionism with the spatial logic of his formal architectural background. Heavy horizontal and vertical striations dissect the saturated colour fields, establishing a rhythmic, almost ruined geometric order that resembles a distorted building schematic or a shattered glass facade. Through this relentless cycle of material accumulation and physical excavation, he drags his tools through the heavy impasto to expose buried layers of rust and light, transforming the canvas into a tactile archaeological record of his structural mark-making.
