With gestural lines and softened forms, Inchoate Play explores the moment where intention dissolves and intuition takes over. Created in acrylic gouache on paper, the piece measures 25.5 by 19.75 inches and unfolds in a deliberately imperfect balance of abstraction and suggestion.

A palette of warm greys, soft white, muted blues, and deep charcoal grounds the work in quiet contrast. What began as intention evolved into surrender of the playful unknown. The composition holds both control and improvisation, structure and spontaneity.

Rooted in the lineage of post-minimalist abstraction, Inchoate Play echoes the restrained spontaneity of artists like Agnes Martin or Cy Twombly, where the act of mark-making itself becomes content. Carrie Bergey’s work departs from narrative and embraces process, allowing the painting to shape its own identity through interaction with material, memory, and rhythm.

The result is a piece that resists closure. It remains open, suggestive, and alive—an artifact of play in its purest form. See less
