Jonathan Anderson, Ways and Means, 2007, oil on panel, 16⅞ × 13 in. (private collection)

The first marks made on this wooden panel were the green strokes in the center. A representational image was then painted around that initial scribble, depicting an inclined corridor between buildings. There is only one layer of paint but two orders of mark-making intermingled: one corresponding to the flatness of the panel and one corresponding to the pictorial volume of the passageway.
