A compact, organically shaped skin of sycamore carries a dense, layered surface. Soft tones of sand, pink, beige and green are crossed by fine lines, small traces of colour and dark openings. A delicate relief of undulating lines runs across the centre, evoking wood grain, skin or a geological pattern.
A bright blue point projects from the lighter form above. Its sharp contour creates a striking contrast with the soft, earthy surface below. Small dark holes and larger circular openings are scattered across the form. A deep opening just left of centre gives the surface an unexpected sense of depth.
Spierenburg combines acrylic paint, egg tempera, pencil and pastel. Paint, lines and relief interlock, creating subtle shifts in colour and texture. The sycamore remains perceptible as both support and material.
The work sits between a fragment of landscape and a bodily surface. The blue form may suggest a rock, a protruding shape or something growing out from the surface. The result is a form that feels both familiar and difficult to define.
