This abstract work indicates an interest in the associative and emotional power of colour, space and line. The artist has suggested that the significance of 'greyness' is threefold: it relates to her memory of Aldershot during the war, to deadness and ugliness. This particular work also has a special optical quality, where the horizontal grey lines appear to vibrate and merge. This work can be positioned within the genres of abstract expressionism and particularly American colour field painting, even though the artist is British.
