Vertical abstract wall art in warm cream with dense dark wavy lines covering the upper surface — packed tight at the top and gradually thinning as they descend, leaving the lower third nearly open. The lines undulate like topographic contours, and the fade from dense to bare gives the composition real vertical momentum. Works well in an entryway, living room, or bedroom where a vertical piece needs to hold a tall wall. White frame keeps the contrast clean without competing.

Part of the Material Trace Studies — a series about surfaces and the marks they carry. No. 07 is the most visually direct piece in the collection: dark lines on a pale ground, fading as they move downward, the way contour lines on a topographic map compress over steep terrain and spread as the grade eases. The Coast Range highway cuts look like this in cross-section — compressed strata at the ridge, thinning as you move toward the valley floor.

Framed and ready to hang. The vertical format and strong upper density make it a natural choice for tall narrow walls or spaces that need a piece with a clear directional pull. Pairs with No. 03 for a two-piece arrangement that contrasts dense line work with scattered marks.
