About this work
A string of large black prayer beads, knotted with a few white beads and finished in a long black tassel, lies coiled on a wooden table beside an inlaid checkered board of dark and pale squares. No pieces occupy the board, and the tabletop around it is scattered with loose daubs of green, blue, orange and violet paint.
The composition contrasts the matte black beads with the board's pearly checkered pattern and confetti-like color spots nearby, set against warm brown wood tones. Paint is applied in flat, clearly bounded strokes with a decorative, almost stencilled quality rather than illusionistic modeling. The result feels contemplative and symbolic, pairing an object of quiet devotion with the ordered grid of a game.
