Bryson explores diverse approaches for paint application and narrative development. Abstract Realism is refined through a process of excavation, accumulation, and revision. Paint is applied, removed, scraped, obscured, and reworked, allowing each surface to retain evidence of its own making. Marks are not simply placed; they are discovered through the continual manipulation of paint–developing a substrate for every decision and action that follows.

States of Perception explores the instability of seeing. Through fragmented figures, shifting geometry, altered perspectives, a deliberate distance opens between the observed and the understood. The grid functions as both structure and interruption–something to follow, resist and renegotiate. Moving between representation and abstraction, the work rejects a static analysis, allowing perception itself to remain in flux.
