This piece belongs to the ‘japan’ collection of works. The small collection has a pronounced Japanese influence and tends to stay subdue in nature but strong in spirit. Colour isn't the overall intention here – it's only to support the greater message and meaning. The artist highlights a mix of traditional and modern outputs to create these works.
The artwork 'ragging water' provides an atmosphere of uncertainty. It emphasises nature and the importance of emotion and artistic freedom. It focuses on dark colours and overlays of photography and lino-prints (unreleased by the artist) mixed in a digital environment, to elevate the overall image. The artist presents new ways and fresh ideas. This merging approach has added a new perspective. The viewer has more to reflect on. This is good.
Cleverly, the work isn't boxed by margins or boarders, but allows the white space of the background to be apart of the art, an extension. This provides an overall balance where dark nor light dominates.
