A direction to explore.
A person to ask.

Use these viewing routes to describe what draws your attention, then bring a specific reference to the creator.

Line-led work

Begin with the marks that draw your attention, then identify the person and context behind the example.

Black-led compositions

Look at a composition as a whole, and keep the creator of the work in the foreground.

Reference & representation

Make the reference, the creator and the presentation context part of the same conversation.

Colour & visual mood

Describe what you see, while respecting the limits of a photograph and the context of the work.

Illustration & original ideas

Follow the development of an idea, with room for attribution, interpretation and a considered brief.

A category is
a beginning.

The names in this index organise viewing and search. They do not define an artist’s entire practice, establish recognised competence or promise a particular result. Individual portfolios can cross more than one direction.

Identify the specific image, its creator and the context of publication. A studio account, a repost or an old collaboration may contain several people’s contributions. Keep the artist’s own identity attached and confirm the current contact for a discussion.
