Chequered Field

The chequer holds the plane; the rider cuts across it diagonally. Icon and game board share one field.

One subject lived through dozens of ways: rider, spear, serpent — each time in a different matter, from red ground to blue tile. A series about an image that survives any reworking and stays recognisable from across the room.
