Adre

Inside the image.

A square cover is filled edge to edge with a close view of a rough, irregularly gridded surface resembling painted masonry. Uneven rectangular blocks are divided by thick, dark seams; their chipped, mottled faces vary from pale cream and dusty pink to ochre, rust red, muted blue, green and grey. Brushy marks and patches of colour overlap, with darker areas collecting around some edges. There is no separate border or clear background beyond this wall-like pattern.

Large black lettering occupies the centre. The smaller two-line name “CARYL / PARRY JONES” sits above the much larger word “ADRE”, whose widely spaced capitals stretch across the central blocks. The letters are plain, narrow and hand-drawn in appearance, with slight irregularities in their outlines. Behind and across the lettering, faint lines of smaller writing in several colours appear to be scattered over the painted surface. They are too obscured and indistinct to read with confidence. The image has a flat, layered appearance: the lettering and marks sit on the same busy, textured plane, without a clear sense of depth or directional lighting.
